Talk:Collection (Oxford colleges)

message: "Undergraduates normally take two courses per term, so sit two Collections."
Isn't this a bit too general? Doesn't it depend on college and subject too much to have a sweeping generalisation like this one? Not only the "two courses" bit (most, if not all, scientists don't follow this rule and the few arts students I know certainly don't). Also, I find that the number of topics I study (and others study) is not a fair reflection on how many collections people get.  Some have lax tutors, and so get one (or even none!) and some have three and one take-home one (as there are only three sittings at my college). Malrase 16:47, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Category talk:Slavery in the United States

message: Should there be a category "Children of American Slaves?" Slavery surely made a lasting impact on persons descended from (former) slaves. Pastorwayne 16:51, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This category name may suffer a problem: many American slaves were also the children of American slaves.  Maybe a better name can be derived to communicate that the category is about the children of former slaves?  Or is the proposed category also supposed to include the free children of people who remained in slavery all of their lives?  Also, this category could be misinterpreted as applying to more than the first generation of people descended from slaves, thereby potentially encompassing a significant fraction of the living U.S. population and limiting its usefulness.

message: I am not quite sure if this title makes sense: slaves were denied human rights and so how could they become American being neither nationals nor citizens. Perhaps something like "enslaved people in America", which can then be broken down into "enslaved Africans in America", "enslaved Poles in America", "enslaved Native Americans in America".Leutha (talk) 18:14, 23 October 2019 (UTC)

I believe that this page cites the wrong person.
I have a copy of the original report from 1838, and only M. (Monsieur) Savigny is referenced.  I believe that this is Marie-Jules-César Lelorgne de Savigny who is documented as being blind (which is referenced in the original report).

message: Note a conflict of Dates - Married to 1st wife Elizabeth Wriothesley in 1673 she died 19th Sep 1690, estimate of 2 children with 1st in 1690. the 2nd Anne is elsewhere given as married to Alexander Popham with her own child Elizabeth estimated as born abt 1703.
This Elizabeth was married off to Edward Richard Montacute/Montagu (Viscount Hinchingbooke) 12th Apr 1707.
So suggest estimated birth dates c1675 and c1677 respectively for the 2 children.
The Daughter Elizabeth Popham is given (on Wikipedia) as mother to John Montacute/Montagu (4th Earl of Sandwich) (b.03 Nov 1718 - d.30 Apr 1792, so a not unreasonable estimate of her birth is c1698.
