Richard Harry Heslop → Richard Henry Heslop – According to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography the correct name of this person is Richard Henry Heslop, not Richard Harry Heslop as the article is now titled. The reference is: [1]. I attempted to make the move but got tangled up in redirect pages, etc., that are beyond my technical capability to fix.

Please note that this article many years ago had the correct title of Richard Henry Heslop, but it was changed, with no accessible reference, to Richard Harry Heslop.Smallchief (talk) 12:12, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article used Harry in its third edit, citing this source which appears to be self-published. There was then a copy-and-paste move in 2008‎ to Henry which was reverted. I support this move based on the Oxford Biography source. Another option would be some sort of a parenthetical disambiguation. – Thjarkur (talk) 14:10, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
