Claire is a beautiful person

So why don't we have a picture of her here??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luligal (talk • contribs) 03:18, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Husband?

The article lacks any mention of any marriage(s), or of the identity of the father(s) of her sons. P Cezanne (talk) 17:56, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Missing info

I've done a major copyedit, but this article still lacks any information about Rayner's career as a nurse, and how she moved from this to being an agony aunt and then a journalist. If anyone has read her biography and feels like summarising it in a couple of paragraphs, it would really improve the article. And as Luligal points out above, there is no photo of her, which is a shame ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 10:44, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Brass Eye

No mention of it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.22.36.54 (talk) 04:31, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Should there be? Why? 2.28.151.248 (talk) 09:57, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Berk or Chetwynd?

The article previously gave Berk as her birth name, but only The Guardian obituary appears to use this piece of information (I have not seen The Times), while the Telegraph, as we indicate, does say her father changed the family name, and both that newspaper and The Independent give Chetwynd as her birth name. Other than sources derived from this article, and The Guardian, no online source suggests she was born a Berk. So it looks like an error introduced in to Wikipedia.

This week's Private Eye details an error which appeared in obituaries of Norman Wisdom apparently taken from his WP article, which I failed to spot a few wekks ago. So if I am being over zealous, it is for that reason. Philip Cross (talk) 13:40, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

She was actually registered as Claire B. Berkovitch in the first quarter of 1931 according to [1] Her parents used the name Berkovitch when they married in 1930 and her sister Sheila (1932) was also registered with the surname Berkovitch. Her other sister (1934) and brother (1940) was registered with the name Berk. MilborneOne (talk) 15:15, 13 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to the ODNB (which cites her birth certificate) she was born with the name Berkovitch. However her mother later changed the family surname "from Berkovitch to Berk to Brandon, finally settling on Chetwynd" which is how she was known until her marriage. I therefore propose we use 'Claire Berenice Berkovitch (later Chetwynd)' in the birth name section of the infobox. I have already updated this and cited the aforementioned source.

why no picture? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.247.52.228 (talk) 07:57, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is. But if there wasn't, you are allowed to add one. 2.28.151.248 (talk) 09:58, 16 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
