I'm restoring my edit of "Irish" to "Anglo-Irish" in reference to C.S. Lewis. He was born in Belfast (which is part of the UK anyway) but spent most of his life in England and pretty clearly self-identified as English. Calling him simply "Irish" is extremely misleading. Please respond here before changing it back.

[edit] "admitted"?

Had Douglas Gresham previously denied being estranged from his brother? The use of the word "admitted" appears strange without better clarification.

[edit] British biographer ??????

How can he be a "British biographer" if both his mother and father were born in the U.S.? I know he moved with his mother to England, and was adopted by his stepfather. But, his parents were born in the U.S., he was born in the U.S., and he lives in the U.S.

Correct? Does he have British citizenship?

The original additon of the British biographer and British film producer categories was my edit. I may have been mistaken. Per the link currently in the References section of the article, Gresham lived in Tasmania and Australia for some of his adult life, and was living in Dublin, Ireland at the time that his book "Lenten Lands" was published. I do not know from which country he hold citizenship. I can try to check some other sources for accurate information. In the meantime, if anyone else has access to verifiable information about his nationality, please do update the opening sentence and the categories, and no offense will be taken on my part :) Thanks, WikiDon, for picking up on this possible inaccuracy. --Lini 04:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
