Help[Facts] Re: Poetic problems
in reply to a message by Anneza
I see that Wikipedia also gives 1937 as the year of birth for both John and Paul so pehaps they are one and the same person?
I thought he only had a daughter - there wasa lot of stuff in the Irish papers about Betjeman and Candida,at the time of the centenery, especially as it seems he spied while living in Dublin during WWII. I never heard mention of her changing her name though.

Ooh, I missed the duplicate date! John becomes Paul, and Paula becomes Candida? Curiouser and curiouser.
According to Wilson, Paul didn't get on with his parents, and at one point while living in the States became a Mormon, from a position of total, sweet sincerity, though to a dyed-in-the-wool Anglican father and a Catholic convert mother it must have looked like a personal attack.
