Death date? edit

Curious not to find death dates for either, I did a little research and found that at 91 and 94 both Pearl and Teddy are still alive today. Just putting this note for anyone else wondering the same thing.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 17:13, 21 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Unless these ages are updated annually then their ages will be inaccurate..as they are now, 2 years on. So I've removed them. Vauxhall1964 (talk) 20:43, 29 December 2017 (UTC)Reply

Pearl Carr birth year edit

Although many sources give her birth year as 1923, this report of her death in 2020 gave her age as 98 (while confusingly also giving a 1923 date). The reported age of 98 is in fact correct, and she was born in 1921. The only record for the birth of a Pearl L Carr in Devon in the GRO Civil Registration Birth Index is for the fourth quarter of 1921, and this post from the British Music Hall Society gives November 2, 1921. As happened very often, it appears that she (or her agent) knocked a couple of years off her age at some point for publicity reasons. Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:28, 16 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
