Middle initial C

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I'm trying to understand why Jane Loudon is given the middle initial C in her name in the title of this article. Is it because it was her husband's middle initial? Mafrado (talk) 08:18, 17 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

August 2020 cleanup

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I have just removed some material that was added in March. It was duplicative, poorly worded and disrupted the structure and flow of the article. What new material it did add was uncited.

The new factoids were:

she followed in [her father's] footsteps as a businessperson
Her first job [sic] was for Prose and Verse
she would write Conversations on Chronology
Jane often traveled with her husband acting as hccis secretary
Later in the 1830s Jane wrote Young Lady’s Book of Botany and Agnes or the Little Girl who Kept a Promise
Jane continued to write her gardening books with the help of Agnes
In ... late 1844 Jane received an award from the Royal Literary Fund.
died ... in her bed at home on the fifteenth of July in 1858. [NB article currently says 13 July]
buried [in] Kensal Green Cemetery

If any of these can be cited, then of course they should be re-added. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:14, 3 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Date of birth/age

Latest comment: 5 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The article is inconsistent on Loudon's age/date of birth. It states in the intro that she was born in 1800 yet the "Personal Life" section says she died in 1858 aged 50. 2A00:23C8:9897:8501:8D82:6999:7DB1:D011 (talk) 22:45, 24 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

How do we know which of the two possible birth years, 1800 or 1807, is correct? No source is given for 1800. All the references on the page have her born in 1807. Lovelacepullinger (talk) 10:31, 2 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
