Who is Vernon?

[edit]

I see mention of a fellow named Vernon who was implicated by Meredith's spy contact, but Vernon's first name is never given, nor is there a link to another Wiki page 2601:644:8F01:BE10:CD64:BDBF:9E0A:F291 (talk) 09:38, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@2601:644:8F01:BE10:CD64:BDBF:9E0A:F291: It's mentioned in the lede, the names there. He didn't know Wilfrid Vernon except that he was in the same espionage group. He wasn't friends with him and wasn't a work colleague for example, so no need to mention anywhere apart from lede and single mention in para. scope_creepTalk 13:09, 15 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Later life?

[edit]

How much longer did the government still employ him, what became of him? 2A02:C7C:C4CD:A500:5159:11A1:EBD2:14B5 (talk) 16:01, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @2A02:C7C:C4CD:A500:5159:11A1:EBD2:14B5:, I don't know. There wasn't much more information than what is in the article. Often they come into the limelight, for several years when they are interacting with folk on something and it makes then notable with plenty of coverage for that period and then they slip back into obscurity, for the same reasons. They are no longer doing anything that makes them standout. Generally in these situations, a few years go past, and either somebody who has worked with them, or potentially his family or even descendants come in and update the article with new information. I've seen that more a few times on folk who were involved in the second world war. They get 5 or 10 years after the war, and then obscurity and the descendant comes in and updates it. It take a long time before stuff appears, if at all. Hope that helps. scope_creepTalk 16:52, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Marriage dates

[edit]

Personal life has him marrying in 1935, but elsewhere we read that in 1932 he and his wife visited the USSR.

Assuming he wasn't married twice, which is in error? Married before 1932, or travelled with fiancee? ~2026-37306-73 (talk) 20:56, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi @~2026-37306-73:. It is now fixed. scope_creepTalk 22:10, 29 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
