Gender: Female
BAL editing: source for date/place of birth/death and aka (bn) from TGON editorial annotations - ADB. AGT (30/6/2008) Hi Terry In your corrections you queried an AKA for Constance Tisdall - a.k.a. Muriel, Alice Constance http://www.austlit.edu.au/run?ex=ShowAgent&agentId=A-6P This name is in LAW published volume, so do not know where you got it from. I suspect if it is a valid name, that it has "dropped" into AustLit incorrectly and if a valid name maybe should have been Tisdall, Alice Constance Muriel - though I have not been able to verify that either. What do you want to do? - KK wants Ts to go to printer this afternoon. Cheers Joan 3/7/08 I knew I'd be popular re White! Re Tisdall - it should be Tisdall, Alice Constance Muriel - not Muriel, Alice Constance. Source is her book 'Forerunners". I'll get back to you re Wickham. Forgive me! Terry 3/7/08
