Note that the wikipedia article starts with "Born in Kirkdale, Liverpool, in 1897 (not Dublin, nor 1901 as he generally implied) to a working-class family, Hanley probably left school in 1911 and worked as a clerk, before going to sea in 1915 at the age of 17 (not 13 as he again implied).[1] Both his parents were, on the other hand, born in Ireland, his father Edward Hanley around 1865, in Dublin, and his mother, Bridget Roache, in Cobh, County Cork, around 1867. However, Edward was already in Liverpool by 1881[2] and they married in Liverpool in 1891."
