 * Symbol question.svg Date and length fine. Hook accurate and cited. Sources reliable. Two small items: What was your source for dates of birth and death? Also, the source indicates where she was raised, but I didn't find one that indicates where she was born. Thank you for submitting your article to DYK. Anne (talk) 12:10, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * For #2, I changed "born" to "raised" as per the source. As for #1, I got the dates from a private database, which in turn was sourced to the England and Wales Death Index. I inserted them when I started the article, assuming I'd find them somewhere in the sources, then forgot about them. Oops. The death information is in citation number five, so I've moved it over slightly to cover the date, but I couldn't turn up the date of birth anywhere but the England and Wales Death Index. If it's a problem, I guess it could be removed and replaced with "c. 1907" (since the obituary does state that she was 95 when she died). Canadian   Paul  22:38, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

AGF on the d.o.b., it isn't in the hook anyway. Ready to go. -- Hillbillyholiday talk 20:42, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
