[edit] DOB

some person(s) keep changing her birth year. I am going with 1964, the same as Imdb. If you think it's not '64, please cite your authority. versen 14:58, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Year of Birth authority: Joanne was in my class at school also Official UK BDM records show YOB as 1961. --81.179.66.5 15:30, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Unless you can provide an authoritative citation, your edits will be reverted, since the 1964 date is cited. Andy Mabbett 10:44, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Where is it cited as 1964?--81.178.233.134 13:27, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
On the IMDB link. Andy Mabbett 13:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Where do you think the IMDB gets there information from? From the 'star's' PR people I think.--81.178.233.134 14:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

As requested over two weeks ago: If you think it's not '64, please cite your authority. Andy Mabbett 14:38, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Andy I know it is 1961. Joanne started her secondary education at Bredbury Comprehensive in Sept 1972, the same time as I did. In the UK, except extremely gifted children, you start your secondary education at 11. If, as you cite she was born in 1964, then joanne would have been only 8 yrs old. I would also draw your attention to the Birth Deaths and Marriage records in the UK which also officialy record her YOB as 1961.--81.179.108.109 09:08, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

All of which is hearsay. Andy Mabbett 14:17, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

hearsay:- Rumour, gossip,. It wasn't a rumour that she was in the same class as me, someone didn't say 'hey there's Joanne Whalley, remember she was at our school, because we sat next to each other and strange as it may seem to you we got to know each others names.And even at that age she used to tell us about how she was going to be an actress. The official records held by the Salford recorder of BDM are not hearsay. What I would call hearsay is the 'fact' of this specific DOB on IMDB. But, if you are still not satisfied then I can do no more. However,as you seem so keen on this particular case why don't you, as I did, log on a Ancestral web site and look at their records of Births for Aug 1964 and Aug 1961.--81.179.108.109 15:09, 20 June 2007 (UTC)


Changed DOB back to 1961. Who ever changed it back to 1964 cites another movie internet site as authority. As stated previously, who do you think provides actors details to these sites. Do you think they will contradict the details the actors provide them with, especialy their DOB. Citation is Salford Records Office of BMD Joanne Whalley 1961.81.179.79.201 15:17, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

So, you should add this citation to the article. The Salford Records Office of Births, Deaths and Marriages is authoritative, but I do not have access to it. Otherwise I would add the citation myself. Coyets 10:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
