Removed reference to Clarence edit

The ADB makes no reference to Clarence, and the article is otherwise unsupported by the statement. Until there is a citation I believe that it is beter to have removed the text "Another name, Clarence, was added in adult life but h" — billinghurst sDrewth 01:35, 26 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

I will add the note that the death of Kendall in NSW is recorded as
4500/1882 	KENDALL 	HENRY C 	BASIL 	MELINDA 	REDFERN
so there should be further evidence to the change, and maybe a reason. — billinghurst sDrewth 01:46, 26 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Reinstated edit

In 1928, Alfred George STEPHENS wrote that Henry Clarence KENDALL was in fact Thomas Henry KENDALL. There are enough examples showing works were given as Henry Clarence, whereas his birth names of Thomas Henry were not used.

Rating edit

This was rated b-class, but I've re-rated it start-class. It does not meet the b-class standards as per Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment#grades guidelines. The article is not suitably referenced. The article does not reasonably cover the topic. More referencing would be required even for c-class. INeverCry 19:21, 31 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
