Per the article history (today), there is a disagreement about whether "one deceased, 1998" belongs in the "Children" field. I don't think it belongs there, but 106.68.179.238, asserting ( presumably correctly) to be H. A. Willis, thinks it should. I'd like some other editor's opinions.
I don't think it belongs there because:
Is there enough published source material to create a "Personal life" section, to which we could add the death of that child? That would be a better solution all round, I think. If not a separate section, is there something stating that the death had an impact on his career, so we could put it into the Career section?
Otherwise I maintain it does not belong in the infobox. Mitch Ames ( talk) 10:20, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
After re-digesting the comments above, it seemed to me that a solution was at hand. That is, since "two sons" were already mentioned in the main text (with reference), I have now added mention of the death of one to that same passage + the cemetery reference – as part of a broader clean-up.
I trust that this addition to the main text represents an adequate basis for mention of the children in the infobox?
