Both Burke's and Cracroft's list her as "30th in line" — I'm not sure where the "31st" came from. Proteus (Talk) 09:47, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 30th or 31st Countess?

All sources I see say 31st. Burkes and thepeerage.com do. When I googled "31st Countess of Mar" I got 24 hits. When I googled "30th Countess of Mar", I got no hits except that of Wikipedia. I think that, though during his life he was actually 1st Earl, Alexander Stewart in the current numbering is called 12th Earl. Unless you find a source proving me otherwise, don't change back the edit! Matjlav 17:11, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

Burke's has "THE COUNTESS OF MAR, 30th holder of the title" and Cracroft's has "Countess of Mar (30th in line)". If your only other source is thepeerage.com, then you're hardly in a position to demand anything. Proteus (Talk) 17:56, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
