Removal of original research and more needs to be done
[edit]A lot of this article looks like original research (WP:OR) (as at Sept 2019) but where individual statements are backed up by newspaper articles of the time, I think it's find to let them stand. A lot of statements backed up by a wordpress article require reliable published secondary or tertiary sources but don't look obviously wrong so I've left them. I have removed a bunch of speculation on the part of the previous authors of the article which I doubt will be backed up, including comments inside citations. Two things I removed which might be carefully reworked to a neutral encyclopaedic tone (WP:NPOV and not WP:OR) after careful checking follow:
- Her [Hannah's] brother, the Rev. John Playford, was not mentioned in the newspapers after 1848,[1] and may have returned to England. It is possible he died en route, which would make Marion King's (2003) statement at least partly true.[2]
- Advertisements for Ralph Drummond's church suggest Playford's arrival was around that date (1844).[3][4]
