Untitled[edit]

Remainder needs checking. "heirs female without division" is an English/British remainder not applicable to Scottish titles where division is automatic where the title is heirs female/general. Burke's seems to give it as heirs female of the body and their heirs male w/ name and arms AllsoulsDay (talk) 15:06, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Marquessate of Maranhão[edit]

This Brazilian title was not hereditary. There was just one marquess – the first. Please check the discussion here. --Tonyjeff (talk) 04:08, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is Marquess do Maranhao Hereditary?[edit]

All,

After some detail research conducted by both myself and mainly Tonyjeff we have discovered that much evidence points to the title not being hereditary. We therefore ask for your advice on the subject as all the articles related to the Earls of Dundonald (etc.) describe it as being hereditary. What do you all think and what information have you got?

Thanks a lot.

With compliments.

DAFMM (talk), 2nd September 2009.

linking references to "Earl...."[edit]

Wouldn't it make sense if there are no articles for specific individuals whose children having their pages or referred to in the "in-laws" pages have the simple link to this page and similiar likewise elsewhere where there are no pages for such individuals?

Dubious[edit]

currently the article says "Lord Dundonald sat as Member of Parliament for Renfrewshire." members of the House of Lords do not sit for constituencies and if it was prior to his elevation then he not Lord Dundonald. -- PBS (talk) 16:34, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Cochrane was MP for Renfrewshire prior to his accession in 1758 (between 1722 and 1727). As the eldest son of the Earl, he would have had the courtesy title of Lord, but presumably to avoid confusion with his father it would have been Lord Cochrane, rather than Lord Dundonald. I'll change this in the article. Benea (talk) 00:03, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Bad ISBN[edit]

Because it is causing a Checkwiki error #70: "ISBN with wrong length", I removed the ISBN from the entry:

Heráldica (ISBN 86-2295)

We need more bibliographical information (full title of the document, author, publisher, etc.) in order to find the correct ISBN. Knife-in-the-drawer (talk) 03:58, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

King[edit]

In the info box it says:

Creation date1669MonarchJames II of England

This should be Charles II for 1669. Not to mention as a Scottish peerage, even if it were King James, that should be James II & VII.

( Personally I think regnal numbering insane when it comes to double names of two countries: easier were it subsumed into the greater number for both [ e.g.. that he should be James VII of England as well, since the countries under the King are really one ], but there it goes. ) Claverhouse (talk) 04:43, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
