"Caffery is reported to return in Hayder's 5th novel, Ritual, scheduled for 2008."

Edited. Ive got the book and Cafferty does indeed return —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.16.166.49 (talk) 04:27, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth

I see some sources for the date of birth "1 January 1962", but they don't seem very reliable to me. In fact most sources only give the year of birth (1962). Is there a reliable source for the exact date of birth? Same fot the place of death (Bath). Apparently Mo Hayder lived near Bath, but a place of death is (as far as I see) not mentioned in the news articles about her death. GeeJee (talk) 20:41, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Can find no reliable sources for birth date, only year. Have removed date from article. And have removed Bath as place of death because you're quite right, there is nothing to support this in any of the sources. H. Carver (talk) 00:48, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I corrected the birth date yesterday already, after the publishing of an obituary in The Guardian. See here. GeeJee (talk) 08:27, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I thought I'd done a 'find in page' search on that source, but must have missed it. Apologies for the error, mea culpa. Thanks for correcting it again. H. Carver (talk) 10:35, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Incorporate Candy Davis here?

This is the same person as Candy Davis, glamour model and actress: see Clare Dunkel obituary, The Times, August 9, 2021. Perhaps incorporate that article with the current one? Feanor0 (talk) 13:22, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have incorporated much of the content of the Candy Davis article. It seemed a debate was unnecessary as there is no conceivable reason for two articles about the same person co-existing and I made the change unilaterally. The passages about her career as a model were unsatisfactory and not well sourced, so I did not carry them over. Philip Cross (talk) 21:35, 9 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
