Hi DavidCane, I am currently working through the memoirs of Wilhelm Kroll, who at one point speaks of meeting "Lilli Scholderer, eine lebenslustige Frankfurterin" ('a jolly Frankfurtian') in Rome, 1892; and right after that he states that he later met her again in 1899 as the wife of a banker Speyer in England, who probably is to be identified as Edgar Speyer. Now, your article states that Speyer married Leonora von Stosch in 1902.
As far as I can see, there are three possibilities: 1) Speyer was married before 1902 to Lilli Scholderer and this marriage ended before 1902; 2) Kroll means a different banker Speyer in England, but are there any?, or 3) Kroll's memory failed him (as he wrote his memoirs more than 40 years after the fact).
I would love to get your opinion on this!

Hello DavidCane: You are credited as the 'Author' of this image on Commons: File:The Circle Routes of Victorian London.png (although the original appears to have been posted by co:User:Voyager). I am intrigued by the line that loops from Kensington (Olympia), goes south of the river and loops back to Victoria (Overground). It is colour-keyed as part of the Outer Circle.
All the (few) textual references I can find to this line describe it as using the Underground routes and Vicoria (Underground) station. Can you throw any light on this? -- Verbarson talk edits 15:04, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi, DavidCane. When you created Battersea Park railway station (1860–1870) you included a reference to Course (1963). What publication is this? -- Verbarson talk edits 18:16, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
