I just came across an article which suggested that Patricia was not born in Cork and is in fact Winifred, the youngest child showing on record of her father Thomas and Mother Nora. No records are claimed to exist for a Patricia born to Thomas or Nora in Ireland or the UK. It is also said that there is a record of Thomas's death in the UK (not Eygpt) dated from before either date given as Patricia's birthday. Personally I'm fascinated by this and wonder how it could be referenced in the main article. Help? 🍺 Antiqueight ^chat 14:51, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is anyone ever going to bother correcting the outright lies that Lynch told, and that this article repeats, or will this remain just one of the many, many cases of Wikipedia being worse than useless as a source of reliable information? Denise Dowdall's article "Patricia Lynch: A Storyteller’s Childhood Revisited" (historyeye.ie 2015) would be a good place to start for someone who (unlike me) still has faith in Wikipedia's commitment to accuracy and naively expects corrections to be left intact by Lynch's gullible fans.
