[edit] Date of birth

According to [1], he was born on 1832-12-04. Need to corroborate this quotation. DFH 16:10, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

England. At Waltham in Lincolnshire, Ferrar Fenton is born. He will amass a considerable fortune as promoter of the De Beers Company for the development of the South African diamond mines, but will suffer heavy losses in 1893 through dishonest legal advisor. He will become a very outspoken critic against what he calls the "so-called Higher Criticism" which he will regard "as either wild delusion or deliberate swindle."

[edit] Date of death

According to [2], he died on 1911-03-14, not in 1920. Need to find further evidence. DFH 15:58, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anglo Israelism

The external link added today by 209.239.60.43 is to a page posted on the so-called 'Christian Identity' website, which promotes Anglo Israelism. I'd be inclined to treat it as linkspam. It duplicates the FFB introduction already available on the Destiny Publishers site. DFH 19:03, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

It's not link spam because the Destiny Publishers site only has the introduction as scanned images in pdf format. 4:13, 9 February 2007 (CST)
