 * On further inspection I see that it is a copyvio (or the university that has the copied data copied it from us and didnt attribute it (unlikely) or they "gave" it to wikipedia and forgor to record their gift (possible). Note the DNB has some replacement text Victuallers (talk) 16:00, 4 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for catching that! It's highly unlikely that it was copied from us; the first change of substance to the text of the article was to correct the typo: "At he end of the 1750s". This typo is in the source. They would have had a narrow window in which to copy from us. Given that and the fact that the contributor has copied content before, we have to presume infringement. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:55, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

New text
I have written a new article here, based mostly on the various sources listed under references. They all tell basically the same story, plus or minus a few details. I'm pretty sure it doesn't amount to a copyright vio of any of them, as I certainly didn't follow any one source and wrote my own text. I didn't bother to do inline citations; as I said, they mostly all say the same things, and they are all secondary sources - I suspect that 90% of it comes from reading various editions of Hutchinson's book. The article on the Holdens is available online.Brianyoumans (talk) 17:03, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
