Edward Pease was NOT a member of Parliament, as this article used to say. It was his son Joseph who became an MP in 1832. I just found it out. The mistake appears to have been based on this ambiguous website: http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/RApease.htm. Logophile 09:51, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

No, that was his son Joseph Pease (1799-1872). — Dunc| 21:38, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
spartacus is fairly unreliable. Also I think Edward Pease had more than three sons. Some sources mention Isaac Pease who died the day before the opening of the new railway so Edward Pease and his family did not actually attend the opening ceremonies. --Erp 01:24, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
The sons of Edward Pease, including Henry (currently Redlinked) are dealt with in Edward Pease's article in ODNB. ---Vernon White 22:40, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
