Susan Littler

[edit]

I thought it was high time someone gave Susan the WP article she deserves and I've done me best, with the following riders:

  1. Can't find a specific d.o.b. anywhere, only the year 1948 (although it must be the latter half of the year, given her age at her death of 33)
  2. Have gone with Sheffield as birthplace as it appears by far the most likely (only one newspaper reference to her as a "Lancashire lass" contradicts, and as a born and bred Yorkshireman, I can say that as Viv her Yorkshire accent was entirely convincing and authentic, no stray vowels from t'other side of t'Pennines!)
  3. I haven't mentioned her (probable) relationship with Richard O'Callaghan as I can't find any acceptable online source to back it up, so it would only be presumed, and as he's still with us I imagine any mention would fall foul of WP:BLP (tho' I'm no expert on that).

Birthplace

[edit]

I have reverted the article to Sheffield as her birthplace as that is what most sources state. I can only find one source (the New York Times, which is hardly reliable on English geography) which definitely says otherwise, although one fan site acknowledges that there is a question mark as to whether it is Lancashire. 'Fleetwood' is a more specific location than 'Lancashire' but it would be better if the source of that was known.

Hello, I have proof from the BNA that Susan came from Fleetwood, Lancashire. A newspaper article I downloaded states as much in an interview she did with a local newspaper in the 1970's Tonygima (talk) 22:11, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Could you please provide a link? —Mythdon (talkcontribs) 22:22, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I have a pdf downloaded from BNA if you can provide an email contact address. 92.13.222.127 (talk) 22:14, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I have further researched Susan's early life and can confirm that she came from Fleetwood. She had two sisters, Vivienne and Francis and her father Joe was a blacksmith. These details and more can be confirmed by reading the link I sent requesting info about Susan on 'Fleetwood's past' on Facebook. Tonygima (talk) 01:32, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
