Richard Plantagenet Campbell Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville, 3rd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos
1871 – The Duke of Buckingham(pictured) opened the first section of the Brill Tramway, a short railway line to transport goods between his lands and the national rail network.
1952 – Israel enacted a citizenship law, prior to which the country technically had no citizens.
The Reverend Teddy Boston's most notable "thing", outside of his rectory railway was the caricatured depiction of him in Thomas and Friends, and he was a friend of the author of said series. Both are relevant to each other. Now, if you want to be like that, then fine, I'll guess I'll have to find a book or some other "reliable" source (fun fact: those don't exist).

I can't find another article which uses the source and the it's self-published so I think a more reliable source should be used. Suonii180 (talk) 16:14, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Suonii180:. I couldn't find any other article either that uses it as a source, including the linked biography. If I did, I'd be at WP:RSN, but let's take Thebrakeman2 at his word that reliable sources don't exist for this person's death. Toddst1 (talk) 22:49, 29 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The death of the Rev. Teddy Boston of heart failure at Glenfield General Hospital was reported by the The Hinckley Times on Friday 1986-04-04, where it said "this week". The memorial plaque at the church where he was buried is specific that it was the 1st. His autobiography Font To Footplate was published posthumously and its review in volume 132 of Railway Magazine noted that it was tragic that he "died in April 1986" and "did not survive to see this entertaining autobiography published". The cover blurb for that autobiography explicitly says "Reverend E.R. 'Teddy' Boston died on 1st of April 1986 at the age of 61.". People aren't making up this date, and it is well documented.
