Talk:Gilbert Gerard of Crewood

Notability and confusion
The P. A. Bolton states: "Gerard has to be distinguished not only from his cousins who sat in the Convention, but also from his uncle, the royalist governor of Worcester during the first Civil War, and the parliamentarian colonel, Gilbert Gerard of Crewood. He was the first cousin of Lord Gerard of Brandon, the royalist general, under whom his father served as lieutenant-colonel, while Gerard himself commanded a troop of the Life Guards."



As can be seen by by the dab page Gilbert Gerard, this was a popular name during the Civil War and historians often get the men mixed up for example see:

I think that this entry mixes up the subject of this biography, the details of which are supported by the primary sources and details in Morrill's Cheshire 1630-1660: County Government and Society During the English Revolution with other Gilbert Gerards. -- PBS (talk) 17:24, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
