Citations from Katrina Fountain could be better

I tried to find who the author Katrina Fountain was (or, hopefully still is), and failed. But In a Surrey Garden: the story of the Harrison sisters by Katrina Fountain was published in The Delius Society Journal issue dedicated to Harrison sisters, together with other info about Harrison sisters. All that is still available online at Delius Society webpage.^[1] All the yournals from that publisher, in cluding that one, seem to be available.^[2] From there, citations in articles about all four sisters could be improved, but I don't have the time to do it well (and won't for at least half a year), so help would be very welcome.

By the way, I added siblings statements to wiki data of four sister's articles so their family relationship can be shown in infoboxes in their articles in all languages. I also changed musician description to violinist there for I think Mae (before I looked into history and found someone overrode that with local hatnote).

I am not sure about reason of user:EIGHTCLOUDS for diff, but maybe (s)he comes around and explains. I don't understand how a family with father colonel, a professional solder and principal of an elite military school of sappers and miners in India, who was also a good amateur flutist and was - after returning to England - given command of The Royal Engineers Band at Chatham, with mother a singer who studied at London's The Royal College of Music, and where all four children grew to be top quality musicians in the era where/wnen women were discouraged to study at all, does not qualify as a family of classical musicians. But I'm willing to be instructed.

Probably the removed category just needed to be exchanged for some cathegory: Harrison family of classical musicians that needs to be creted, and I'm eager to learn how that's done properly.
