==Only child?==
Obituary in ''The Independent'': "Born in the Cregagh area of Belfast in 1945, David McWilliams moved to Ballymena when he was three. He grew up with seven brothers and sisters and as a teenager..."

Obituary in ''The Irish Times'': "David McWilliams was born on July 4th, 1945, in the Cregagh area of Belfast, as only child of Sam and Molly McWilliams."

Who knows which paper is right? So I removed "an only child" from the sentence "McWilliams was born in the Cregagh area of Belfast, an only child and moved to...". The fact was not that important anyway. [[User:Sijtze Reurich|Sijtze Reurich]] ([[User talk:Sijtze Reurich|talk]]) 13:07, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
