[edit] What was the name of Wellesley's peerage in the House of Lords?

The article about Garret Wesley, Wellesley's father, says (1) four sons were made peers in the House of Lords. It then says the Marquesate of Mornington and Barony of Maryborough were extict -- implying that the Marquesate of Mornington was an English peerage. It wasn't. It was an Irish peerage. Wellesley's highest rank in the peerage of Great Britain was simply a Baron. This article should state the name of his Barony in the peerage of Great Britain. The Garret Wesley article should include it too. -- Geo Swan 12:07, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Well I can see what you mean about the line . It doesn't say anything wrong but is perhaps unclear. I have added peerage of Ireland after the marquisate.

Someone may know but I believe the Michael_Carver,_Baron_Carver is a decendant of the marquess though one of his illegitimate sons. Alci12 17:33, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

There was no Marquessate of Mornington. There was a Marquessate of Wellesley. As I understand it, the 4 peerages would be - Richard: Baron Wellesley; William: Baron Maryborough; Arthur: Duke of Wellington, etc.; Henry: Baron Cowley. john k 19:45, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

They are john but the actual article didn't (at least when I read it) get the marquisate wrong so I wasn't too worried. Alci12 11:16, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
