I respect [[User:Ssilvers|Ssilvers]]' objections to some edits I made. However some good edits were reverted at the same time, which I restored and should be uncontroversial. Please let me know on my talk page if there is anything further. Thanks, [[User:Rms125a@hotmail.com|Rms125a@hotmail.com]] ([[User talk:Rms125a@hotmail.com|talk]]) 05:03, 4 October 2009 (UTC) |

==Tenterden template== |

I've reverted the removal of {{tl|Tenterden}} from this article. Ellen Terry lived in Smallhythe Place for over a quarter of a century. The use of the template is fully justified as Small Hythe comes under the parish of Tenterden. [[User:Mjroots|Mjroots]] ([[User talk:Mjroots|talk]]) 22:00, 23 November 2010 (UTC) |

Link to Dickens
Where is the link to Charles Dickens? Septentrionalis 22:02, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
- That was Ellen Turnan.
Middle Name
Encarta has her middle name as "Alicia", even though The Times obituary on its site uses Alice. Britannica strangely gives no middle name at all. The Dictionary of National Biography, which is the most authoritative source of British biographical information uses Alice and adds the reversal I have mentioned in the article.
Correct Date of Birth?
In her autobiography, she states that she was born in 1848 and was married shortly before her 16th birthday. Other sources cite her birthdate as 1847 and maintain that she married shortly before her 17th birthday. I changed the dates to those in her autobiography, but I am not sure if they are correct.Alcinoe 20:45, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
- There is an online exhibition at the Family Records Centre which shows she was born in 1847. Regards Arniep 19:13, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
Sorry I mentioned the birthdate in the wrong section. It IS 1847 as her niche in St. Paul's Covent Garden shows. I've understood that her family shaved the year off so that she would be seen as suitable for her first theatre role (where she played a young boy). Of course, in my personal case, my father "lost" a year; his large family forgot what year he was born. He thought it was 1937 and they insisted it was 1938. A niece found his birth certificate in 1987 and told him he was right; he was 50.
The correct date IS 1847. It was not acknowledged in her life but the niche in St. Paul's Covent Garden bears the 1847 date. If you have any question about the date, you should ask them. It says: 1847-1928. I took a picture of the niche which was included in an article I published that mentions her cremation at Golders Green (London). 67.187.100.198 (talk) 18:31, 17 November 2007 (UTC)Lisa Kazmier, PhD.
- Yes, thanks, it's definitely 1847. Her birth certificate says so! -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:01, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Article status
I added information and links to this article, but much more can be said about Terry, one of the most important Victorian era actresses. In particular, more needs to be said about the arc of her career. Best regards, -- Ssilvers 23:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
I am the daughter of David F Cheshire who wrote The Portrait of Ellen Terry listed in the references. I am happy to add more information, but much would be taken from Dad's book: is this appropriate. Please advise? Ellen (honestly - I have a brother called Henry!!!) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Douglas08 (talk • contribs) 15:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Recently the files below were uploaded and they appear to be relevant to this article and not currently used by it. If you're interested and think they would be a useful addition, please feel free to include any of them.
I've also placed a better version of "Choosing" in the article. Dcoetzee 02:09, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks! These are beautiful. I added one. I think the one on the left is too similar to "Choosing", and the article is bursting with images, so I didn't add it. More information about the images could be added to the descriptions. For instance, you wrote date "unknown", but the website gives the information in some of the cases.
