Talk:John Carpenter, 4th Earl of Tyrconnell

Article started
Continued followup on Baron Carpenter line that became the Earl of Tyrconnell line. At this point it is a stub article. More info is needed about his life. Any help appreciated. Jrcrin001 (talk) 21:41, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Death date
Burke's&hellip; Extinct Peerages (1866) and Cokayne (Edition 1, Volume 7) agree that Tyrconnell died on 25 June 1853. Cokayne adds that his will was proved in April 1853. Hmmm&hellip;.

However, contemporaneous newspaper reports note that Viscount Melbourne (d. 29. Jan 1853), the Earl of Oxford (d. 19 Jan. 1853), and Tyrconnell died within a fortnight of each other, all three peerages becoming extinct.

Cracroft says he died on 26 Jan. 1853.

Could someone please check some citable sources on this? Thanks.&mdash;Dah31 (talk) 00:34, 24 January 2019 (UTC)
