[edit] Date of birth

Sources disagree on Bayliss' date of birth - currently the DoB from Englandstats.com is used, with a footnote acknowleding the contradiction. I have started this section to log the date of birth as listed by the various sources. Hopefully it may become clearer as to which is correct. The discrepancy between Matthews (1987 & 2001) and Matthews (2005 & 2007) makes me wonder if there has been new information uncovered in the last few years. --Jameboy (talk) 16:48, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
