Earwig's shows high-match with

I have not removed the line but I have fixed the sourcing as before it previously only referred to the BBC article, I have added
The Guardian source here as well which says After briefly returning to British Guiana he made his way to London, where in 1955, and the BBC one says However, Mr Bailey, who had moved to London from Guyana in 1953
