Marriage to John Boyd Dunlop?

Did she marry John Boyd Dunlop, the tyre inventor, as stated at the Daisy Bell article? Anyone got a source for that?

I ask because it seems rather odd that it is not mentioned in this article, as he too is a prominent figure. --Mais oui! 10:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

She also seems to be the mother of the heir of the Earl of Warwick, in 1882. Her husband died three years after Dunlop, in 1924. No solid citation for this remarriage anywhere, so I'm calling it a hoax, probably based on a subtle pun that she inspired the song "Daisy Bell/Bicycle Built For Two", and Dunlop invented the bicycle (tricycle) tire. -- Yamara 02:23, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References etc

I've added a bibliography. Most if not all of the text in the article can be referenced from these books, which I will try to do later. Mscprm (talk) 21:40, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Douglas Haig

Douglas Haig's son Dawyck claimed that it was "family tradition" that DH had had an affair with Daisy Warwick in the early 1900s, just prior to his own marriage - it's mentioned in a recent bio by Walter Reid. No idea how much truth there is in it, maybe they just met at a few parties and had a chaste flirtation, or whatever. Anyone know if this is corroborated in any biography of her?Paulturtle (talk) 07:55, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is "courtesan" an accurate description?

I'm not sure I'd describe Daisy as a courtesan, as it suggests a prostitute, ie, someone who earns her living exchanging sex for money. (Wikipedia's own entry reads "Today, the term courtesan has become a euphemism to designate an escort or a prostitute, especially one who attracts wealthy clients.) Daisy was an heiress in her own right and married into even more money. Her relationships were extramarital affairs and while she received expensive gifts and occasional cash, prostitution was not her profession. Thoughts? ChiHistoryeditor 19:52, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
