    Deadpool Detective Work

    I know this is probably of no help at all but her middle initial was E. as per her birth record here. I also had a search through the British Newspaper Archives. I no longer have a subscription so I can only see previews. There's an article on there about Hill and her parents. Her father was a senior NCO but I can't see the full article so can't get anymore personal details. Her daughter, Abi Harris was born in 1970. Question is was her mother having an affair when she was born? If so you could go into FreeBMD, punch Abigail in as a first name born in 1970. Then you could look at the column where it has the mother's maiden surname "Hill"... there are just 3 results: DAVISON Abigail Helen HILL Hammersmith SMITH Abigail Catherine M HILL Portsmouth HENLEY Abigail Jane HILL Surrey N If you can crack what Jennifer Hill's married name was via her daughter's birth record (assuming she was married ofc), you can track her movements afterwards. Then @Master Obit may be feeling generous enough to have a look in the GRO.

    People Who Are Dead According To Wikipedia...

    Sam Winningham (wiki), American college football player (during the 1940s!) turned coach, supposedly dead at 97. Father of the more well known actress Mare Winningham (wiki), who has starred in just about everything. Great name for a sportsman!

    Nope, she's dead. Born as Elizabeth Ernestine Burkhart on 2 October 1918. Married firstly to Claude Henry Shafer (1918–2007), then to David Alexander Ware (1903–1987). Died 9 October 2006 (aged 88) as Elizabeth Burkhart Ware. I doubt there are any second generation links to real life individuals dramatised in Killers of the Flower Moon still living.

    Khaleda Zia

    This is something I say and everyone knows I'm being sarcastic. However, can't tell if you're actually being serious or not.

    1. Jimmy Carter

    Ok, own up. Which one of you was this?

    Opera

    Guardian obit for British soprano Margaret Curphey, aged 86. A frequent face in Wagner operas before retiring to the Isle of Man in 1994 (a fate worse than death).

    Golf: The 19th Hole

    Yup! Picked by 3 teams on there.

    The Chequered Flag

    I don't believe he's dead. Family Search and geni have been causing a lot of trouble lately. The latter seems to be the source of the Jane Morgan death hoax.

    Dying Off The Radar

    I've updated the page for Somethin' Smith and the Redheads to include full death dates and sources for both Striks and Robinson. I've updated the page for The Three Chuckles for the deaths of Romano, Gilberto, Benti, and Randazzo. The Wiki page mentions one further member, an accordionist called Jackie Farrell who was briefly in the group in 1957. Alas he seems to be too obscure to find anything on.

    Dead Pop Stars

    That's spot on. Three session musicians from their albums are still alive too: drummer Jim Keltner, 82, percussionist Ray Cooper, 77, and saxophonist Jim Horn, 83, who I mentioned earlier on was the last surviving member of Duane Eddy's Rebels.

    Dead Pop Stars

    Tandy is one of 3 ELO members picked in the DDP this year. The others being Roy Wood, 78, and Bev Bevan, 80. Jeff Lynne is 77 and his group just announced their final tour but is unpicked. There's still a healthy half a dozen or so others to pick from too.

    UK Singles Chart

    Jim Horn, 83, becomes the last surviving member of the Rebels. Duane was the longest lived so far.

    One of these guys I thought would get to 90 quite comfortably. Alas.

    1. Jimmy Carter

    Here’s what I make of it, Carter, his thread, and most of all you.

    Political Frailty

    Here is the clip. Speaks briefly at 14:58:50. Admittedly he doesn't look or sound his best, but for a 91 year old he seems to be above average.

    Sheikh Down

    Tahnoun bin Mohammed Al Nahyan (wiki) dead. 97/98 if he go off of the 1926 year of birth his English Wiki page used to have on it. Or 81/82 if he go off of the 1942 year of birth currently used on his Arabic Wiki. What a mess.

    Political Frailty

    Last spoke in the House on 15 April. He also hosted his own event in Westminster about 6 months ago that a friend of mine went to. He looked good from the photos I saw.

    The 100 Club

    I believe his care home is in Uxbridge near where I used to live.

    Would also like to see him getting obituaries in The Telegraph, Times and Guardian. Will be the oldest person from the British film/television industry to do so.

    The 100 Club

    He’ll be 110 in 105 days. Hopefully he’ll make it and we’ll get a photo and an article.

    The 100 Club

    Ah ok, I thought someone did have a contact there as we hadn't seen a new photo of him for over a decade at one point, but now there are several "recent" ones floating about online.

    The 100 Club

    I'll email them and ask. When I last did so in 2021 they were really passive about it and like most other businesses with lazy ass employees used the pandemic as an excuse for a "backlog". Will be amusing to see what their excuse is now.

    The 100 Club

    The longevity community seem to have a closer tab on him now. I’d expect them to know of his death within a week or two.

    Political Frailty

    FTR, Stunell last spoke in the Lords on 27 March and last voted on 22 April (Rwanda bill). Death was likely sudden and not expected.
