== Reverted 22:22, 25 Jan 2005 ==
This reversion was to return the article to one consistent with Wikipedia's style, to remove a sentence started with the word "and", and for reasons of clarity. - [[User:MykReeve|MykReeve]] 22:31, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

== Contradiction? ==
The text gives two conflicting reasons for her leaving ''The Last of the Sumer Wine'': one is that she left to concentrate on theatre work, the other that she left due to an inability to remember lines due to health; as the former seems unlikely of the latter is true, this perhaps needs clarification or further info? 09:49, 29 April 2013 (UTC)  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Jock123|Jock123]] ([[User talk:Jock123|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jock123|contribs]]) </span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Family ==
No details of her family - elsewhere I learn that of her 3 children, two were adopted, and of those two, one died of alcoholism.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/112.198.77.21|112.198.77.21]] ([[User talk:112.198.77.21|talk]]) 01:54, 24 July 2014 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Place of birth ==
Was she born in Parbold or Southport as the info box says one and the text the other? [[User:Penrithguy|Penrithguy]] ([[User talk:Penrithguy|talk]]) 22:37, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

According to a lot of sources she was born in Southport [[User:Micjon|Micjon]] ([[User talk:Micjon|talk]]) 18:38, 17 January 2015 (CET)

:''[[The Independent]]'' also has [[Parbold]] in its obituary: [https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/dora-bryan-actress-and-singer-with-an-eight-decade-career-who-became-best-known-for-her-role-in-a-9627262.html here]. Furthermore [[FreeBMD]] has [https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/information.pl?scan=1&r=149022799:5057&d=bmd_1588661647 this entry] for "Name: Broadbent, Dora M., Mother's name: Hill; District: Wigan" which would fit with Parbold. Before 1934 Southport births were registered in the Ormskirk District.  But ''The Independent'' seems to have her birth name wrong. Maybe the place of birth needs to be changed?
