A fact from Thomas Hawker (British Army officer) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 26 September 2018 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that a successful Peninsular War charge led by Thomas Hawker (pictured) was said to prove that the use of carbines by cavalrymen was "nothing short of insanity"?

I've removed:

His daughter Elizabeth became the second wife of [[Sir John Willoughby, 4th Baronet]] in 1854.<ref name="snac">{{cite web|title=Sir John Pollard Willoughby, 4th Baronet|url=http://snaccooperative.org/ark:/99166/w6fp6fgp|website=Social Networks and Archival Context|accessdate=17 May 2018}}</ref> Hawker lived at [[Himley House]], Staffordshire.<ref name="snac" />

as I'm not convinced this Thomas Hawker is the same person. Can anyone confirm? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:52, 21 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

I do not think that is the same man because, first, this Thomas Hawker is not referred to as Sir or General, there is no information on this Thomas Hawker's daughters, and Staffordshire is pretty far from Bristol. Kges1901 (talk) 16:57, 21 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
