Sir James Cockburn, 8th Baronet

...was Member of Parliament for Linlithgow Burghs from 1772 to 1784 is his only substantive claim to notability. The remainder of the article is genealogical. Unless being an MP automatically confers notability, the article must go as the rest is purely of interest to his family. Inheriting a non-noble title does not confer notability.

 * Keep -Seems an interesting enough person. Does Member of Parliament mean he sat in the House of Commons? Pity nothing about him in the article, but at least no married secondly... and had issue ... and issue had issue who married firstly... and the link can provide our readers with what they may want.
