[edit] 1962 by-elections

I have just removed from the article the following sentence:

"Gilmour contested the Hounslow West by-election, 1962"

I can find no such by-election listed in the List of United Kingdom by-elections (1950 - 1979), or on the British Parliamentary by-elections site (the latter sit lists all candidates at all by-elections, and the only Gilmour listed for 1962 is in the Central Norfolk by-election).

I can't find any constituency called Hounslow, or any other by-election in a constituency with a similar-sounding name, so I have asumed that this entry was some sort of mistake. --BrownHairedGirl ^{(talk) • (contribs)} 21:45, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Hounslow Wesr is definitely there! Its in Middlesex, and was for many years the London underground stop for Heathrow Airport.David Lauder 20:47, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

He was always referred to as Sir Ian Gilmour, Bt. David Lauder 20:48, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

The Baron is of course higher than the baronetcy but he remains a baronet in addition to the Life Peerage. The Baronetcy is not replaced, so technically you are wrong, regardless of some rule peculiar to Wikipedia. David Lauder 10:25, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
