School

Much of the material in this article can be found on other web sites (see, e.g., those listed at the bottom of the main article). It is not clear to me which articles have priority. Nonetheless, an oft'-repeated claim is that James Beck attended "Popham Elementary School." This seemed strange to me because the British tend not to use the term "Elementary" in their school names. A little digging showed that this was most likely Popham Road Primary School, which was renamed Charles Lamb Primary School around 1949 This school was closed in September 2004 and subsequently demolished. Apparently the New North Community School will be built on the same site. Tm19 08:02, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Elementary School was in fairly familiar usage at least in the Manchester area prior to WW2, as was High School. I have exercise books from that time which reflect that nomenclature. I have no idea whether it is the correct nomenclature in this instance, but certainly it is possible. Sitush 00:08, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

More personal details

It would be good to have more details regarding James Beck's parents, siblings if any, wife, children, place of death, cause of death. Perhaps this will get it out of the "Start" rating. Tm19 08:02, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
