Recent edit[edit]

An IP user, 2601:cd:4000:ba6:9c91:7f15:cab8:c9ec changed the page saying "Lamb's second wife was my great-great grandmother. Her name was Jemima Jane Spencer Morger, not Jemina (Jane) Caldwell Morger. Change by Sharon Morger Jones.

But the source says Jemina (Jane) Morger (nee Caldwell). You cannot change the information that comes from a cited source. What you can do, though, is come up with reliable sources that have the correct name. Have a source?

Then, we'll need to note the discrepancy - rather than WP:Cherrypicking the information - which I am happy to format.–CaroleHenson (talk) 00:45, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot finding anything that can be used from "Elkanah+Lamb" this query. So, that's not a good start. Perhaps there are primary records. I'll check.–CaroleHenson (talk) 00:48, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done, found a primary source - and put the discrepancy in a note.–CaroleHenson (talk) 01:24, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
