 * Hi there. Thank you for the message.  I am a newbie.  The edits I made were for my father's page and I don't know if there are articles saying that he was born in Woodstock or that he died at home but, as the family historian, I know them to be true.  Can they be reinstated ? Argyllcoin (talk) 05:09, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
