According to Wikipedia, John Douglas Gibson lived 7 November 1924 – 21 May 1984. The original version of the article said "c.1925" but it was corrected in May 2011. The edit summary cites a Google search. Maybe I'm missing something, but that search doesn't seem to be relevant.
Every version of the article cites an obituary by Allan Sefton that says he was born in 1929, so I'm unclear why the original author said "c.1925". Also, this obituary by the same person, Allan Sefton, says he was 58 when he died. That means he was born in 1925 or 1926. So the 1929 is clearly a mistake, and the 1924 is inconsistent with what looks like a reliable source.
