Talk:Thomas Brierley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] A start

I put this up in a hurry. I will link references in good time and stick my photos up of the memorial. This is the best I could come up with from the available evidence (including GRO, newspaper articles, commentaries, books, archives etc - many of which are contradictory and some clearly wrong). Please add any refs you have on this article in the meanwhile. I will asure you though that the articles that describe him as having eight brothers - of various names including Abishai, Joab etc are incorrect. It was his father. His father, Joab/Job, had eight brothers: George (Hurst), Daniel, Jesse, Abishai, Asahel, Ittai/Hite, Didymus and Gideon (just in case some local experts wanted to know). Their father was John Brierley and he was known as the man with "nine sons".

[edit] Refs

I put some refs up. Not certain the best way to do this as some of them conflict and some most likely have exaggerated parts. I could rewrite the article to be more scholarly ... According to X jada, jada, but according to Y, blah, blah, although Z agrees with X. However, it will quickly become unreadable. On the otherhand, this article is PoV becasue I have chosen what seems to be the most likely from the sources (generally favouring the earlier sources over the later ones). Any thoughts? Does anyone visit this page ? Candy 12:44, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
