FreeBMD.org lists this birth, registered in the second quarter (June) of 1961: . Martinevans123 (talk) 12:48, 1 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Chris Packham's birth was registered, in accordance with the law, in the second quarter of 1961. That is to say between 1st April 1961 and 30th June 1961. His birthday is, as stated on the site 4th May 1961. John2o2o2o (talk) 13:30, 28 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Ok, fine. But we still need some source(s) for 4 May 1961. There is an indirect one here, but we can't use that source. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:29, 2 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Is this good enough for you? Packham on facebook thanking his friends for wishing him a happy 60th birthday on 4th May 2021:

Straight form the horse's mouth so to speak. I don't know how to reference it, maybe someone else can do it? John2o2o2o (talk) 23:22, 27 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Looks pretty definitive. Martinevans123 (talk) 08:04, 28 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Just noticed age listed as 62 even though he’s born 4th May 1961. It’s 8th May 2024 so shouldn’t he be 63 now? 2001:8B0:64F2:4B28:C801:EF8F:F9D0:2935 (talk) 15:10, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes, how very odd. That's nothing to do with any source(s). Is that a template bug? Martinevans123 (talk) 15:15, 8 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've asked at Template_talk:Infobox_person#Age_update_fail. Waggers TALK 12:45, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I saw that, thanks. Have now purged with &action=purge. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:32, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
