Very poor article. Little information provided about his career and his death. 1* out of 5*. VERY, VERY POOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.173.215.90 (talk) 23:07, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First Name[edit]

'Buster' hid his real christian name for all his life, although it is now widely believed to be in fact 'Marmaduke' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.147.44.26 (talk) 16:07, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, it was Harry, go on IMBD and type in Merryfield for the January, February and March 1921 quarter. http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl and his name is listed as Harry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.18.89 (talk) 23:06, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Go to IMDB http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0581467/bio - it says MARMADUKE.

Also, this FreeBMD lists your Harry Merryfield as born in March 1921 - clearly a different person. Births Mar 1921 Merryfield Harry Stone Wandsworth 1d 938 denny
The FreeBMD doesn't seem very complete, also it is Wiki-esque where people can add stuff themselves, hardly good for accuracy. Try searching for your own details. I couldn't find myself or any of my family in there.

I just realised, when adding Marmaduke to the main article, that the person who added 'Harry' did so using the FREEBMD as a reference !!

When not only do they have different dates of birth, they also have different PLACES of birth - Wandsworth (Harry Merryfield) as opposed to Battersea (Buster Merryfield). I know people sometimes knock the IMDB, but at least it's entries have to be passed by an editor / legal team before being entered.
