Victorian Legislative Assembly edit

Latest comment: 10 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The 1940 edition of the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography (DNZB) says about James Mackintosh:^[1] "Mackintosh represented East Bourke in the Victoria Legislative Assembly (1859–60)." It also says about him:^[1] "MACKINTOSH, JAMES (1827–97) was born at Lochinver, Sutherlandshire."

This does not align at all with what it says about James Macintosh (note spelling of surname) on the Parliament of Victoria bio page:^[2] "Born 21 December 1830 (Kilniver), died 16 April 1904 (Braybrook)."

I conclude that the info in the DNZB is wrong. Schwede 66 19:06, 7 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
