This article says Ms Powell was born in Prescot, England, while this source says she came to Australia from Liverpool, England. I accept that from a distance of 12,000 miles they probably seem to be the same place, there is a bit of a difference, if only because they have separate articles here. Does anyone know which it is? My library privileges don't stretch as far as a Who's Who of Australia, sadly. Swanny18 (talk) 23:34, 15 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
"Came from" and "was born at" are not the same thing, so I don't see how the sources are different. The parliamentary record confirms that she was born in Prescot. Frickeg (talk) 23:44, 15 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
@Frickeg:: Thanks for replying; I see what you mean, but I didn't have a source for Prescot being the place of birth and just assumed they were being conflated (it isn't that big a town)
Anyway, thanks for finding that source (and for replying so quickly!) Regards, Swanny18 (talk) 22:52, 17 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
No worries. :) Frickeg (talk) 23:13, 17 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
