Comments
  1. The DNZB says his mother's name was Mary Ann Baxter.
    • Have added the full name.
  2. You might include the link to his CMG ("No. 12863". The Edinburgh Gazette. 19 October 1915.)
  3. The infobox says he was awarded the Croix de Guerre but there's nothing about this in the article

  • I've dealt with the CMG (have reordered things to bring it into chronological order). I've also had a look at his marriage, and managed to find his wedding certificate on the BDM website (married 29 September 1892). I've had a very good look at Wellington newspapers but the event didn't make it into print. Schwede66 08:23, 17 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
    Meh. The marriage date is already in the NZDB (ie fn 2). I have fixed the infobox. Hawkeye7 (talk) 05:54, 19 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
