Talk:James Patrick Mahon

The last two lines on the "Political Offices" of step-father of the house (sorry jok...ish) look odd. They are nearly identical except the yesrs are different??? Don't know how to fix Victuallers 15:41, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe they are correct; it appears that when he was elected in 1879 he became the oldest MP since Joseph Warner Henley had stood down in 1878; Pelham Villiers appears to have been the oldest in the interim. Robert Carden, only slightly younger than Mahon and older than Pelham Villiers, was elected in 1880.  Many sources from the period give Carden as the oldest MP, but this is due to confusion over Mahon's year of birth (variously given as 1799, 1800, 1802 or 1803, but now accepted as 1800 and given as such by the ODNB).  In 1885, both Mahon and Carden stood down, leaving Pelham Villiers the oldest MP again.  In 1887, Mahon was re-elected, again becoming the oldest MP, and on his death in 1891, the title returned to Pelham Villiers. Warofdreams talk 16:14, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Landlord during potato famine?
I recall learning about a certain landlord during the Irish potato famine in the documentary series Irish in America who evicted tenants overseas, and who a secret society tried to assassinate. I annotated his name as "Matrick Mahon," but I'm not sure if he was actually this Patrick Mahon or not. I'd like to add detail on his time as a landlord if Patrick Mahon is, in fact, the man I'm thinking of. Gio, Jaime, James, or Shamus (talk) 17:38, 5 January 2019 (UTC)


 * Nevermind, I found the documentary and found I'd misheard the landlord's name. Denis Mahon, not "Matrick" Gio, Jaime, James, or Shamus (talk) 22:52, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
