 * Symbol question.svg Holding: awaiting hook source and qpq, per above. New, long & neutral enough anyway. earwig 20.6%, all standard phrases shared with Guardian obit. Johnbod (talk) 17:40, 29 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg Hook, at 204 characters, is longer than the maximum allowed for DYK. Please supply a new, shorter hook. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:30, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

 * According to the source, Woodhouse was the family seat; Aberuchill Castle was eventually sold. My suggestion would be to drop both "family seats" (not true for both) and "Woodhouse" (though the death of the brothers doesn't have a citation at the end of the sentence in question):

 * Thank you BlueMoonset and Johnbod. ALT1 does the job nicely, drawing together (briefly) all the best bits. I'd better do a QPQ now! Edwardx (talk) 12:57, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
