Talk:Thomas Forrest (financier)

Dear Gilo, I see that you changed the title of this article from Thomas Forrest, Esq to Thomas Forrest (financier). Please consider reverting it. "Esq" is a title. It stands for Esquire and in the beginning of the 17th century it was used by lesser sons of noble families. Thomas's elder brother Miles inherited the title Sir (Knight). To refer to Thomas Forrest as a "Financier" is a 21st century term that is inappropriate in history. This would be like referring to the Charles, Prince of Wales, as Charles Windsor (Environmentalist). Thanks ClassicalScholar 01:12, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
