I find it ambiguous whether "eminent logician and economist" refers to the father or the son;  that's one reason I joined the sentence about his mother into the previous sentence -- I think it helps clarify that a bit, and it also helps when the word "He" begins the next sentence, which wouldn't make sense after a sentence about his mother.  I read the whole article and this was the only part I saw as needing editing.  --[[User:Catherine Woodgold|Catherine Woodgold]] 11:17, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

Florence Ada Brown etc.

I got some info about Florence Ada Brown, Keynes' mother, from this website: [1] It seems to me that if his mother was Mayor, she deserves more words written about her than his father. I think "advocate for the poor" sums up several of the projects listed there that she worked on. Maybe "activist for the poor" or "social reformist" (as Wikipedia says) or something else would be better wording. I find it ambiguous whether "eminent logician and economist" refers to the father or the son; that's one reason I joined the sentence about his mother into the previous sentence -- I think it helps clarify that a bit, and it also helps when the word "He" begins the next sentence, which wouldn't make sense after a sentence about his mother.
