Iris Estelle Radcliffe Drew
editJane Drew was born as Iris Estelle Radcliffe Drew. The 1911 census of England and Wales, taken on the night of 2 April, recorded her as "Iris Estelle Radcliffe Drew", aged 10 days. Also on the form are the names of both parents and her sister and a servant. It seems unlikely and is surprising, but the evidence is there. As in the footnotes, the 1911 census is the proof, because the census was taken 10 days after she was born, and about two weeks before the registration of her birth. On her birth certificate, dated 27 April 1911, she is Joyce Beverly. Also in the footnotes, which were there. Please don't change something which seems unlikely. Notes on this were included but were ignored by whoever did not believe that she had a different birth name.
Comment: The first names must have been chosen by her father Harry Guy Radcliffe Drew as they contain the Radcliffe from his name. But then his wife must have decided to change this to Joyce Beverly, after her father, who was Samuel Beverly Jones.
Please note the spelling: her given names are Joyce Beverly, not Joyce Beverley. P0mbal (talk) 23:07, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Splitting References into Notes and References
editThe References section has explanatory notes that have no citations. I think this article would benefit if we seperated the explanatory notes from the citation references like the illustration here to the side.
