Manchester or Ferranti

The intro says that she co-wrote the first compiler for the Manchester Mark 1, but the article itself implies that she worked on Toronto's Ferranti Mark 1, a later machine. I propose to change this. A pity it appeared on Wikipedia's main page. PhilUK (talk) 19:42, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Birth Year

Should a note be listed explaining that her gravestone on FindAGrave.com (memorial #142084908) lists the wrong birth year of 1922? I have verified her correct birth year of 1921 on the actual Mexican birth record registry. I can provide an image of the birth registry and the URL for FindAGrave.
