Talk:Parsley Peel

"Parsley"?
Preposterous. If Parsley Peel, then why not Turnip Townshend, Abe Lincoln or FDR?--Wetman (talk) 15:00, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
 * It's his common name, in all references he's either "Parsley Peel" or 'Old' Robert Peel. They had a habit of calling each other Robert Peel in that family, at 4 generations have wikipedia articles (Robert Peel (disambiguation)), and I've found reference to at least another 3. I don't see people complaining at will.i.am, Bill Clinton or many others. Worm TT( talk ) 15:06, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Good Image!
Wow.. It looks like you dragged someone all the way to Bury to take a photo of a statue to then to go back home again (2 hour round trip!). I must say it looks rather impressive and what's more impressive is that you managed to get it in daylight hours! Good job WormThatTurned! ツStacey (talk) 20:16, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Bourne book -is the right edition being referenced ?
Looking at the various copies on archive.org (rather than just cut & pasting somebody else's references into a contribution of mine) and as far as I can see the 1866(sixty-six) edition (or at least the version of it held by the University of California) was in 2 volumes with the Peels in Vol 2 - Parsley Peel runs from p148-156. There was a 2nd edition in 1886(eighty-six), Chatto & Windus the publishers: that looks to have been a single volume, with Parsley Peel running from p353-358. So as far as I can see, the page no & volume for reference 4 match the C&W second edition, not the first edition for which the book details are given. For the other Bourne references I think the page number & edition are right, but the volume number is wrong. (If so, that's all my illusions about GAs shattered (!)). I haven't checked which edition the ref 4 facts come from; the text looks much the same, so I suspect either would do (and it's well past my bedtime) Rjccumbria (talk) 00:42, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
