[edit]

This article was created when there was already a more comprehensive article Sarah Burney about the same person. I'm going to plunder any extra information here and put it in the other article, but one of the problems is that the information is not referenced and in a few cases inaccurate, which makes it difficult to take over. E. g. Burney returned from Italy in 1833, not 1839. Bmcln1 (talk) 09:09, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sarah was not Charles Burney's only child by his second marriage. The fact that the "king and queen" read Clarentine needs referencing. Bmcln1 (talk) 09:28, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The assertion that some people thought Sarah was the author of The Wanderer needs referencing. Bmcln1 (talk) 09:40, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sarah seems to have acted as interpreter for Liancourt during a visit to Young (her uncle by marriage) with her sister Fanny, not her father. I think by then she had already acted as an interpreter in Surrey for D'Arblay and others. Bmcln1 (talk) 09:44, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken over the extra information needed to Sarah Burney. If anyone's keen to work further on the combined article, I have a copy of the ODNB entry, which is by Lorna J. Clark. Blessings. Bmcln1 (talk) 09:50, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect page

[edit]

Having taken over the extra reliable information from here to the Sarah Burney page, I propose to turn this page into a redirect page in two weeks' time if there are no objections by then. Bmcln1 (talk) 15:08, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As there are no objections I'm turning this into a redirect page and putting the text of it in the Discussion page of Sarah Burney. Bmcln1 (talk) 19:52, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
