Talk:William Hamilton Merritt

Name origin of Merritt, British Columbia
The town's article says it's named for William Hamilton Merritt, but reading through it and comparing to Thomas Rodman Merritt I wonder if it's maybe the latter that is the town's namesake. Anyone here know? I'd have added it to this article if I were sure the attribution were correct, but I'm not....Skookum1 (talk) 19:06, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Couldn't be this guy; please see this at the Merritt talkpage....could he have had a descendant of the same name? Likely, I suppose....Skookum1 (talk) 19:13, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Merrittsville Highway should be Merrittville Highway.
I have lived in St Catharines all my life and never once have I heard anyone refer to the Merrittsville Highway. A quick Google search only shows "Merrittville Highway"--> No "s". As to the original town, maybe it was Merrittsville, but the highway is not. I could change it, but I'll let the people who are contributing to this article do so. Otherwise, it is a nice article, although far too brief: For one thing: Merritt's house is still standing and for many years it has been the home of CKTB radio--information like that could be added. Also personal info, wife and children, etc.

Cheers,
