Barker might not be her maiden name
[edit]I found a transcript of an interview of Muriel Box, in which she mentions Jean Barker as the wife of a George Barker. Her maiden name could be the same as her married name, but I looked on FreeBMD and couldn't find a Jean Barker born in Manchester in 1919.
"Muriel Box : Yes, I was wondering what it was like in films, so I went one day - I had to do something for them - I had my very good editor, she was a woman.
Alan ? : Who was that?
Muriel Box : Jean Barker, Barker's wife, George Barker's wife."

I'm not sure who George Barker was, as he's not mentioned elsewhere in the interview and I can't find any information on him.

- @Skycloud86:, you're right. Barker was her married name. The birth name "Jean Margaret Barker" on IMDb is nonsense, but then I've come to trust nothing on that site!
Here is her death record from 2013. Thanks --Jkaharper (talk) 14:41, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
