Perchance does Bob Cratchit's wife have a name? I've never been able to find one and it's been a frequent discussion point among colleagues. 192.240.80.230 ( talk) 06:42, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Emily Cratchit?
In the article text, it says he has an unnamed son and an unnamed daughter, but in the infobox to the side, it says two unnamed daughters. Which is it? 70.247.11.215 ( talk) 04:47, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
I am unsure if the statement that 180 pence = £63.00 is accurate on the article. According to this calculator, it's £432.56 ($578.60 in the same statement, not $94) http://www.concertina.com/calculator/
Anyone know if the above is more accurate and therefore should be updated on the article? I didn't want to update until I could get some confirmation that the calculation is correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wardenari ( talk • contribs) 04:32, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
Is there a reference to Bob being 30 years old? It seems odd to me, given that his daughter Martha is old enough to work and live on her own (as an apprentice to a milliner) and his son Peter is big enough to wear his father's clothes. 23.17.81.202 ( talk) 05:27, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
My search reveals some promising snippets that I don't have access to, such as in here. Add to this two books that may have some usable content (unless they are just pure novels): The Haunting of Bob Cratchit and The Life and Times of Bob Cratchit ( lulu.com red flag...), and what possibly could be a dissertation titled The Building and Performing of a Character, Bob Cratchit, none of which I can access, however. Likewise, I can't access this academic article: [1], nor this. Oh, and I did skim through this book chapter, but I don't think that's SIGCOV on the character... Bottom line, after half an hour of BEFORE, sadly I couldn't extract anything usable outside plot summaries. There is also the issue of Bob's story being overshadowed by that of his son ( Tiny Tim (A Christmas Carol)) or entire family in the context of the Ghost of Christmas Present "arc", and hence, consideration of redirect/merger (since both of the linked articles are much better developed and referenced). I'd like to see this saved (I expected there'd be some coverage of this character from the literature on Victorian-era lower classes or such), but I am struggling. This is one of those hard cases where I may need help from others. Ping User:Uncle G, User:Daranios, User:ReaderofthePack. Can anyone find something to add a reception/significance section and save this from AfD? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:09, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
