[edit] Removed content

I've reverted to remove material that appears to be a copyright violation from this website. Brendan Moody 08:16, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edited

My God, who wrote this article? Somebody who doesn't speak English? I just edited the article, it was full of spelling and punctuation errors, words missing, half sentences and the like.

It also has a couple of sentences which are confusing but I feel too tired to research this now ... This article needs more cleaning up! Regards, 61.17.205.209 20:35, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edited again

Still full of holes and solecisms. Have tided up to death of husband no4; then new characters are introduced by surname and without description. Much more work needed. One of the names of the husbands was wrong, too... --Cunningham 12:56, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] And there's more...

Have updated with info from contemporary reports. Now looking a bit more respectable --Cunningham 14:06, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Factual problem

Under Husband 1, she has 5 children, 4 of whom die, and then 3 more, all of whom die. This should add up to 8 children, 7 dead, 1 living. In the next section, however, there's a reference to 1 of her 2 children dying, and that she had 9 in total. This needs fixed. Sleepsong 02:37, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
