From her Wiki talk page The date of birth differs from the one at Find-A-Grave. Lincher 12:31, 23 March 2006 (UTC) I've never seen anywhere else give her birth year as 1931. The 1934 date was the one given in all the obits I saw last year. Crisso 09:47, 27 March 2006 (UTC) The death indexes, whose information is taken from each person's death certificate, state she was born in 1931. F W Nietzsche (talk) 22:29, 18 December 2008 (UTC) Yep, 1931 is correct. Here's a transcribe of the Death index entry: Name: ROWLANDS, Patricia Amy Registration district: [?] Brighton County: Sussex Year of registration: 2005 Month of registration: January Date of Birth: 19 January 1931 District no: 4521D Reg no: D14B Ent no: 078 DOR: 105 This would show this birth index entry to be the correct one.

Octopus of Odstock 2,206 Posted June 1, 2020 Wiki has actor Ivor Danvers as dying on the 13th March 2020 (no source) More famous, arguably, for a five year stint in Howard's Way. But he also appeared in Carry on Sergeant, and there can't be many left from that film. However I cannot find any mention at all that he has died. Can any of our super sleuths do so?

Ivors former Howards Way Costar Jan Harvey is active on Twitter if anybody is minded too or 'brave ' enough to tweet her and ask as I think she would either know if it is true or perhaps be able and willing to find out? Also this guy is the son of actor Terence Frisby were he references the fact Ivor was his Dads oldest friend. I'm sure he would know too if Ivor has sadly died .

Am afraid I can confirm it is true via his son. I thought Terence Frisby's son might know as Danvers was his godfather and sure enough... Nice tribute to a fighter here imo.

Ulitzer95 12,690 Posted December 11, 2020 Babs now gone. Who’s keeping a list on here? I know Judy and Sally Geeson. They’re both in good health. I reckon they’ll be around for quite a while yet, along with the likes of Sherrie Hewson. Leslie Phillips and Richard O’Sullivan are surely next to go?

CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted December 11, 2020 Leslie Phillips and Jim Dale are the only 2 surviving actors who were in at least 4 Carry On films in major roles . Phillips is now by far and away the longest lived of all the main Carry in stars. How long will he go on?????????? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RolandDeschain 91 Posted December 11, 2020 What about Ray Brooks who played the bartender in Carry On Abroad? 82 next year and his last role was also in Eastenders (13 years ago) He's well known for other stuff mainly like Mr Benn, Big Deal etc but may be considered too young and with no word on his condition the committee may cast his inclusion aside.
