Doesn't appear to be notable; only 31 Ghits. Rory 0 96 (block) 23:21, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

 * He was at cambridge during a the period of early genetics, and since Cambridge was the pioneer of study of genetics with Punnett, Bateson and later Fisher, Haldane, etc, he was there when it all happened. You're unlikely to find much about him today because of the scarcity of such information, but it can be verified.
 * Secondly, he is somewhat of a missing link between three important families, namely the Huxleys, the Peases (Quakers from the North East) and the Wedgwoods (potters); merging the info into the article on his relatives just overbalances their articles.

 * Delete per Ragib. Unfortunately, being a POW doesn't make you notable. Stifle (talk) 23:51, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
