The article gives his wife as "Mary Georgina Newton (1876-1945)". Can you please check the date of her death? The New Zealand government biography indicates that she returned to New Zealand and died there in 1954. (http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/3r37/rutherford-ernest) Indeed a quick check of the New Zealand Birth/Marriage/Death online site indicates Mary Georgina Rutherford died in Christchurch in 1954. https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz Registration number 1954/19483.

It appears that you have done the checking. Since no sources were given for 1945, and since you have found two official New Zealand sources for 1954, I have corrected the article to 1954 and inserted your sources. Thank you for finding these sources. Dirac66 (talk) 17:13, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Change "who became known as the father of nuclear physics." to "who became to be known as the father of nuclear physics." for a better grammatical sense. Razzd31 (talk) 21:31, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
Changed to "came to be known", if that's OK - Ttwaring (talk) 22:19, 25 May 2016 (UTC)

you should remove the lord from Ernest rutherfords name.
Please explain why it should be removed. In 1931 he became a baron which is one rank of "lord" in the British peerage system, so he was entitled to the title Lord. Dirac66 (talk) 00:54, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
