Person talk:Walter de Beauchamp (1)

Why I am redoing this family [25 March 2013]

I have checked most of the impressive-looking list of (the first 12) references on this page. Most of them do not refer to the person on this page. Those that do do not support his placement with these parents. For example, the reference "Dict of Nat'l Biog, vol 4 p. 32-33, vol 39, p. 126, 128 (GS #Ref 920.042D561n)" is to an article which names the father William, not Walter. In any case, the references appear to have been simply cut and paste from here, and then reformatted into Werelate form. I haven't tracked down all of them, but the way this family is set out here contradicts Cawley, who cites his sources and tells you when what he is doing is not based on primary sources.--Werebear 06:50, 25 March 2013 (EDT)

Actually, I am going to have to look a little deeper. There is a lot of contradictory information out there, and I want to double-check that what Cawley has is solid(ish). (The way the line is set out on Werelate is definitely messed up, though).--Werebear 19:59, 25 March 2013 (EDT)

OK, I am going ahead and changing things to align with Cawley. I don't think Cawley has proven his line (Ravilious's line looks like it should be taken seriously), but it looks better than the way things are here now. I am going to add SpeculativeWife etc templates and disputed lineage sections to alert people that there are a lot conflicting opinions around. If anyone has better cites than what I provide, feel free, of course, to re-rearrange things.--Werebear 18:07, 26 March 2013 (EDT)
