Talk:Oswald Sanderson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

birth date? history before TWS&C? I will do some research and see about adding to the page a bit to improve it. Dr.Rock72

[edit] Date of birth

i've added some extra information and neatened the piece up a little. Still working on it. Have no record of a date of birth but included history before TWSC. El Scorcho

I've found numerous places which refer to him being born in 1863, but no precise date of birth as such. Seashanty

[edit] Mistakes

Actually, it doesn't seem to have been any sort of mystery regarding his date of birth, and I think there are a few other errors on this page with years and so on. Seashanty

There are all sorts of mistakes, i will see about correcting them this afternoon. It seems alright apart form a few wrong dates though the statement that Ellerman contributed to his death is purely speculative and disease of the liver is rarely caused by working in a stressful environment! Mr. Lizard

There were some shockers which i have now corrected, his date of death, the date he became managing director, the bit about staying with the firm til the sale after the end of WWI (it was 1916) and took out the silly bit about Ellerman contributing to his death. I still feel someone who knows more needs to come in and expand the whole piece but at least what exists is now correct. Does anyone have any good references to use? Dr.Rock72
