Edits from connected person

Just for reference's sake, Fraser's son, Christopher Cerf, made edits to the article as User:ChrisCerf. (I've seen these notes included elsewhere, so adding one here.) Beginning 00:38, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

That's clear from the edit history. Did you question any of the edits or have a particular point? Doc 00:48, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

As I said previously, my understanding from having seen this on Talk pages in the past is that we typically include a note when someone connected who's contributing personal original research has offered their help with the article. The edit history is clear now, but it might get buried shortly down the road, so the Talk page references apparently help give people background, especially if sourcing is called into question. If anyone thinks there's a reason to question the edits, they would of course add an NPOV tag, which I did not do. Beginning 01:51, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Confusion

There is an implication that Ms. Fraser lived with both men at the same time in that residence. God bless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.153.115.152 (talk) 18:08, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Confusion

This sentence is confusing:

She lived for the last half of the twentieth century, with both husbands, in a five-floor, townhouse at 132 East 62nd Street.

This implies she lived with both men at the same time. God bless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.153.115.152 (talk) 18:09, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Father

The fact that not only her mother but numerous maternal relatives are detailed, but her father's name isn't even given is slightly weird. Obviously her mother came to have the surname (Brown) Nichols, given her maiden surname is given as Owens; looking online it seems she was married to Albert Percy Brown (see newspaper clipping of his death here- https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Owens-3016#Photos) and it appears the 'Nichols' is Fraser's stepfather, subsequent husband of Verda née Owens(?) Odd that no reliable biographical source gives detail of this. So presumably Fraser WASN'T 'born' 'Brown Nichols', since that's a combination of both her biological and step-fathers' surnames. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-28471-93 (talk) 01:25, 12 May 2026 (UTC)
