Why this record matters
“Teddy Eccles” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Teddy, Eccles and child provides the most credible route into that argument.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q16186649. VIAF identifies the subject as 100813762. The Library of Congress control number is no2009150086. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1955, 1969, 1895 and 1995.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
