Who was Henry Wilson?
editThe article says that, "in addition to Henry Wilson," Wilde had two illegitimate daughters by earlier liaisons. Does that mean "Henry Wilson Wilde" and that Henry Wilson Wilde was also the offspring of earlier liaisons? Or does "Henry Wilson" refer to someone else, and, if so, to whom and why? Wbkelley (talk)
- Thanks for your note and good catch on your part. I suspect that the first mention of Henry may have been cut out by a subsequent edit - although the original edit may have contained this mistake. I have adapted the fuller mention of this item from Oscar's article and move it to its own section. Thanks for your vigilance. MarnetteD | Talk 23:39, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
