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. Sijtze Reurich (talk) 13:07, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No answer, but I suspect that the Irish Times has it right, and that the IP who keeps adding it is probably acting in good faith. None of the tributes on this site, including those from family members, make any mention of any brothers and sisters, although one post from a family member does mention "Marion, a cousin who was taken into the family". You're right, it's not really relevant either way. Ghmyrtle (talk) 13:24, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
