Broken Links

There seem to be a prodigious number of citations which have broken links. For example, all the ones citing Northern Whig take me to a page at search.findmypast.co.uk saying 'Whoops! Something went wrong on our end'. Other references are similar, such as the one currently No 23: "Irish Art Prices No. 33 Colin Middleton"

Does anyone have any idea what has happened here? These references are essential to the article. Brymor (talk) 15:16, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Death of Middleton's father 1933 or 1935?

The original text of the article gave the date of death of Middleton's father Charles as 1935. Unfortunately, the citation for this date is one of the broken links to findmypast.co.uk posted by Suburbanabstrakt (see above). Looking up one of our valid citations (Dickon Hall), I discovered the date was actually 1933, so I edited the page accordingly. However, as it was possible that the original citation had said 1935, I researched further and discovered that the Dictionary of Ulster Biography appears to support this: Charles Collins Middleton (1878 - 1935).

As I am in correspondence with Dickon Hall, I asked him to clarify this discrepancy. Here is his reply (Jane is Middleton's surviving daughter) : There are inconsistencies in the dates given as you say. I have spoken to Jane about this as 1933 and 1935 were both given for Charles’ death in different publications and she confirmed that it was 1933. Brymor (talk) 12:29, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
