Talk:List of Stewards of the Chiltern Hundreds
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Please note that while I can vouch for the exact dates in 1944-1958 and from 1970, I can't be entirely sure about those in between. In particular Peter Smithers' date may have been a few days different, and William Roots date is a complete estimate - but the real date is certainly betweeen 25th and 31st October 1967.

- The earlier dates aren't quite correct. Southby resigned in 1947, not 1946, and Williamson in 1948, not 1947. Gzornenplatz 20:47, Oct 2, 2004 (UTC)

- It was late, the PRO was chucking out, and the file always used the regnal year rather than calendar year. PS: the Civil Service had printed up a stack of Edward VIII appointment notes and decided to use them rather than go to the expense of printing up George VI ones. They were still using the Edward VIII ones in July 1947.Dbiv 23:12, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I've now checked the 1958-70 dates with the London Gazette and corrected those which were inaccurate. Dates of appointments from 1902-44 will appear soon. Dbiv 11:42, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Missing Name?
I'm in the process of compiling information on Samuel Danks Waddy. One source says that he "accepted the Chiltern Hundreds" in December 1879. He does not, however, appear on this list. Is this list incomplete, or is my source incorrect? Thanks, JeremyA 02:00, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- The list is incomplete - it doesn't include names before 1893 (when appointments appear in the London Gazette). David | Talk 08:14, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Reasons for taking up Stewardship
Perhaps the reasons for taking the title could be included on this list: several of those I checked did so for "honourable reasons" (taking up posts elsewhere etc): while no mention is made in the relevant articles of taking the post in other cases.

[edit] Thomas Kennedy=
Is referred to on the list, but the link goes to a disambiguation page - can someone decide who is involved?

[edit] John Stonehouse
According to your entry on John Stonehouse, he applied for the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds but did not sign the papers, making him ineligible for this list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.210.0.72 (talk • contribs)
