We should get an article on the 12th Duke, BTW, he seems like he was an, um, interesting character. What purports to be his obituary (although the newspaper it comes from is not cited) can be found at Paul Theroff's Internet Gotha, a normally reliable site, at least for genealogical information. If it can be confirmed, it seems like it'd make an interesting article. john k 04:30, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Confirmed it - the LexisNexis obituaries in the Telegraph, the Guardian, and the Times say basically the same thing, although none of them seems to be the same as this obit...Perhaps I'll write it at some point. john k 04:43, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Manchester
- I read somewhere that Manchester actually referred to Godmanchester in Huntingdonshire.--Anglius 06:03, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Rule Lord Kimbolton
I can't quite decide if this needs more explanation. Many other peers are in the same situation ie no lower titles/courtesy titles but don't breach the 'rules'. I wonder if the article has a danger of appearing to suggest that there are 'rules' and that he has some exemption. At most there is custom which he certainly breaks and many other peers follow.Alci12 15:14, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] duplication
Most peerage articles say nothing about individual holders of the title other than something to suggest why it was created. Given the existence of separate articles for each of the first nine dukes, why deviate from that practice? —Tamfang 04:31, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
