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)

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)
