Broxhead House - questionable history

[edit]

This article states Broxhead House was built by the Admiral Foley who was (their description) "hero of the Battle of the Nile" in 1877. However this admiral died in 1834. I doubt it could have been a misprint for 1777 as Foley was only 20 years old and not yet married that year. There is nothing in his Wikipedia biography that suggests he was building a mansion at that point. This needs looking into.Cloptonson (talk) 21:10, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Church of England Soldiers Institute - who opened it?

[edit]

The identity of the female personage who opened this institute in 1904 is given as "Princess Alexander of Teck" but it links to Alexandra of Denmark who was by then known as Queen (consort) Alexandra as wife of the reigning Edward VII. This needs a check.Cloptonson (talk) 21:16, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Own question answered. She was Alice, wife of Prince Alexander of Teck, who had only married that year. In 1917 she became better known as Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone, after her husband was given a British peerage in lieu of his renounced German title. I have accordingly amended the link.Cloptonson (talk) 21:23, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
