Talk:Lindsay baronets

Proposed merge
Before the proposed merge takes place could someone clarify: "3.Sir Alexander Lindsay of Evelick (1597-1663), 1st Baronet, succeeded by his eldest son," -from the Lindsay of Evelix article, and cf. "Sir Alexander Lindsay, 1st Baronet (died c. 1690)". Did the first baronet die in 1663 or 1690? Mannanan51 (talk) 00:42, 23 October 2016 (UTC)


 * The 1st Bt was created as such in 1666 (per Lord Lindsay, 1849), and he died 1690. Chrislindesay (talk) 02:43, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
