Perhaps it might be an idea to include a link to the Old Bailey online case? http://www.oldbaileyonline.org/html_units/1810s/t18120513-5.html
Is there a good authority for the fact that the Russian ship was called Soyuz? This means Union in Russian, it was the first S in SSSR (CCCP in Cyrillic) Russian for USSR, so this seems anachronistic. It was the name of a well-known type of Russian spacecraft, but maybe it was just an odd coincidence. PatGallacher 11:59, 2005 May 14 (UTC)
The BBC Cambridgeshire website on Bellingham (he was born and raised in St Neots in Cambridgeshire), states the ship was called Soluere, as opposed to Soyuz. Is it possible that the was an error in translation to Soyuz? --'s-Gravenhage 19:27, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- P.S. Where was this information gathered? Many sources, as well as local common knowledge stipulates that Bellingham was born and raised in St Neots, Cambridgeshire in 1776 (as demonstrated by a striking painting in a local bookshop of the assassination). Is it possible that a mistake has occured, or has this fact been omitted for a reason? --'s-Gravenhage 19:33, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- C.F. Tebbit's authority on St. Neots (St. Neots), states John Bellingham's father (also called John), was a limner from London. His son was born and raised in St. Neots, as opposed to London, as stated in the article. --'s-Gravenhage 3 July 2005 12:25 (UTC)
