Forgot to leave an edit summery.[edit]

I like to leave one even though this was a small edit. I corrected a factual error changing his title from a British peer to an English peer, on the basis of the fact his peerage was crated before the act of union 1707, and the fact he died in 1700 means he was never British at all, so… Blatant error…--Adam آدم (talk) 14:03, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Children[edit]

The list of children of William Russell and Anne Carr is somewhat confusing. DNB says 11 children, but does not list them. George seems to be the black sheep, not listed later: he was noted for his debts in the lianh reference, and notably is not given the courtesy title "Lord" in the tpoe reference. Anne either died in infancy or before marriage, depending on the source. John is not mentioned in tpoe or lianh but is in hmothor and is mentioned in thepeerage. The girls were all named after their aunts, which leads to much confusion. The list of children at the page for Anne Carr was different from the list of children here. I changed her page to point here instead. Emrys2 (talk) 14:15, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
