::Source for Isabelle's 2nd and 3rd marriage is the article "Nicolaas Reubsaet" in the Dutch book "Sittardse cultuurdragers 1299-1999". Nicolas was Reubsaet's actual first name, but Victor can probably be considered his artist name. At least one of his titles was false, maybe both. His father was a simple shoemaker.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Not worthy of comment in the main article, but perhaps of interest to a passing researcher, might be an auction, by Messrs. Christie, Manson & Woods, on 23 June 1879, of “The Choice Cellar of Wines of Isaac Merritt Singer, Esq., Deceased, late of Oldway, Paignton, South Devon; Consisting of About Six Hundred Dozens, And Comprising Old Pale Sherry, of Gonzalez' Shipping; Vino de Pasto, of Domecq's Shipping; Old Bottled Ports, Shipped by Dow and Martinez; Two Hundred Dozens of Claret, St. Julien of 1874, St. Estephe of 1874, and Cos. D'Estournel; Richebourg of 1870; Chablis of 1872; and a small Quantity of Hock and Champagne; Fine Old Scotch and Irish Whisky, and other Spirits and Liqueurs”. (My pictures 18864-9.)

message: I found some more information confirming content and also disputing some of the timelines in ISBN9781473687912 and have edited accordingly where possible, see talk above re place of birth disputed.
I have put in citation required template throughout for material without inline source, not in that book, in the sections about his life and family. Some more work to do from that source on the business growth.  Can others find citations for the content already provided?

thread_title:  More details needed for citations 

message: Added context on the resultant mass production and on women then up to date on sweatshop factory fires.  Still not enough citations, or can others add citations to the biographical details?

replies: text: With respect, please have regard to the context, it is a biographical article about a man who died in 1875. Is it really relevant to add material that postdates by over a century Singer's lifetime, and also does not concern his firm? The material would have more pertinence in an article about the history of the firm, the industry or about industrial health and safety rather than his biography. It may give an impression the article has been hijacked for protest purpose. Would Singer have foreseen these anyway?Cloptonson (talk) 18:48, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
