Note that my two references disagree about her year of birth: this one says "1860", while this one says "1861" (as did the original version of this article). I might check Burke's Peerage and various biographical reference works, but my guess would be that the first source probably used Burke's Peerage anyway, so it wouldn't be independent confirmation... -- Oliver P. 14:29 14 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Don't you just hate it when this happens? This page calls her son "Harry Arthur Burnaby", while this page calls him "Harry St. Vincent Augustus Burnaby". I mean, clearly they're the same person, but why the discrepancy? I suppose this is a good reason not to have articles on obscure people. If few people have done research on them, and those few people disagree with each other, little of the information we find can be relied on. Should I therefore retract my support for keeping this article, or just hope that some better research turns up in the future? -- Oliver P. 15:12 14 Jul 2003 (UTC)
I think it's a fine article; might be good to wait for more research (after all we're fairly sure there's an autobiography out there somewhere). The interest point here I think is more the mountain climbing than the lineage anyway. - Hephaestos 15:28 14 Jul 2003 (UTC)
True... I'm just being genealogy-obsessed again. Please forgive me. :) -- Oliver P. 15:38 14 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Her marriages don't make sense. She is said to have divorced her second husband seven years before she married him, in the year she married her first. Jdfisher (talk) 01:21, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
