LGBT?
editUh is there any evidence to her sexual orientation? I mean the article itself doesn't mention anything about it, and I was surprised to see that this was an LGBT stub. I think we need a citation.

I agree, there is no evidence that Ms Cavanagh was lesbian, bisexual or trans-gendered, that is a modern assesment but not an historical one. I shall remove the LGBT class stub.
It should also be noted that Ms Cavanagh was born in Dublin and therefor this should be an Ireland related stub, not an England one. That Ireland was at the time joined to England does not negate a person being born in Ireland from being described as Irish.

- Cavenagh is relevant to the LGBT project because even if she did not identify as transgendered, she was a cross-dresser and pretended to be a man, and is thus effectively transgendered, even if it was purely for practical reasons. Asarelah (talk) 20:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- I understand Asarelah, I withdraw my objection to the LGBT reference. I have been cautious of late over some people's contributions being less than proper on their historical writing. Many thanks!

Merger
editThis article should be merged with the Christian Davies article. They're the same person. What's more, the articles, I believe, are identical (except for some better copy-editting on this one). I wrote Christian Davies article, having failed to check all of her aliases. Hence, why the two articles are so similar. --HistorianBell 01:42, 19 November 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by HistorianBell (talk • contribs)
Daniel Defoe
editIt seems slightly odd this article does not reference Daniel Defoe's book 'Mother Ross' if only because it fills in quite a few of the gaps. Am I missing something?
The query arises because I'm linking to this page from another article on the 1695 Siege of Namur which appears in this book.
