Editing of Anthony Hungerford Dear Phillip My comments regarding your editing of this site are not hostility they are upset I have only ever place three entries onto Wikipadia and am the first to acknowledge that I have not made myself fully aware to the protocols of the site After some 30 years of researching my ancestry my primary aim was to share the information garnered on those few individuals who have been somewhat prominent in history My upset comes from the fact that the editing was not sympathetic You seem to have just wiped the article and started again The upshot was that instead of leaving the information on the page after all it has been there for some time what is the rush to change it and asking for clarification certain aspects just disappeared If I understand it correctly it seems that Wikipedia prefers to quote as a source from the Calendars of State Papers because a contributor to DNB or ODNB a secondary source has seen it and delete my other quote from the Calendar of State Papers with source reference because I have seen it personally in a printed book of the Calendars Likewise as I mentioned to you in my email it was obvious that the authors of both the old DNB and the ODNB did not actually know the origins of Colonel Hungerford they both speculated Whereas my later research had got nearer to the truth with my finding details given by Colonel Hungerford to the Ulster Herald when he arrived in Ireland with his Regiment which you confirmed with the full reference TABDublin National Library of Ireland Genealogical Office Ms 45 pp 59 60 Certificate of Arms to Col Anthony Hungerford of Marson in Wiltshire and his pedigree He arrived with his Regiment in D ublin April 30 1647 TABDublin National Library of Ireland Genealogical Office Ms 45 p 62 Certificate of Arms and cadency to Ensign St John Hungerford third brother of and ensign to Col Anthony Hungerford May 12 1647 I apologise if I have been too harsh in my comments to you but you must understand that it was basic sourced information which at the time was not on the internet that I was seeking to share with Wikipedia readers not style rules and display I hope you have not finished with your editing If you require any further clarifications please contact me 212 140 128 142
