Ernest Clarke

Two references I can find no ready reference to Ernest Clark, I can find two Clarkes

• Clarke, Ernest, 1857-1932 physician (the eye)
• Clarke, Ernest, Sir, 1856-1923 agricultural history <== chosen

Both publish, however, the second looks more likely. I propose to prepare the latter of the references for the knighted author, and leave the first redlined. If they turn out to be the same person then we can edit appropriately. billinghurst (talk) 01:11, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Obituary confirmed that Sir Ernest Clarke was a contributor to DNB. Remainder of proposed (in)action remains. billinghurst (talk) 01:51, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Obituary of first mentioned Ernest Clarke has no reference to DNB.

From list of contributors, the reference to CLARK was found to be CLARKE. Author resolved. billinghurst (talk) 01:55, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
