I think this entry has been badly titled. It is clearly the Annual Monitor for 1851, and anyone interested in British Quakers of the period will expect it to have this date. I myself found this entry by looking for the Annual Monitor for 1850, which I assumed would include entries for people who died in 1849. It was a considerable disappointment when I found this was actually the 1851 Annual Monitor, which is already widely available.

Alternatively, if you want to keep the 1850 date, then at least also include a transcript of the title page, to make it clear what it is.

The notes section on the article clearly identifies that it is the 1851 edition, and hence containing the 1850 obituaries. I also think that the title clearly indicates that it is obituaries for the year 1850 and does not profess to be published in 1850. -- billinghurst (talk) 14:11, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
