First marriage

The original version of this article said:

"In 1942 he married Margaret Doris Hickman. They were divorced in 1946."

The only obit I've seen that mentions his first wife gives a different name and divorce date, and I've changed the page here to reflect this. However, the obit in question is The Guardian, so who knows... I felt confident enough to change the info because the orignal article here also said that his son is called Michael. Of course, it may be that Mark Thatcher's real name IS Michael... In which case... -Nommo

Your dating system seems to indicate that his first wife died on June 8th 1948, only 5 months after she had remarried. Her quoted praise of Denis is unlikely to have been made as early as this. You might like to check the date of her death.

Title

Funny

'In her autobiography she wrote: I could never have been Prime Minister for more than 11 years without Denis by my side.'. Am I the only person that finds the ambiguity in this statement amusing? ;-) Badgerpatrol 19:58, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
