| Special note | Date of birth: Wikipedia date borne out by Irish Times article by Eileen Battersby (a friend of the author). Guardian obituary appears to have confused the date (28 December 1923 instead of 23 December 1928) thus creating a death age of 92, perpetuated by the Daily Telegraph ("on the eve of his 93rd birthday"). Irish Times obituary only cites the year of birth (1928) |
