Identiy and age

I have removed the citation of Burkes Peerage which identifies Paul Foley MP as the son of Philip Foley. However the will (among family settlements) of that Paul Foley was proved in 1717. This Paul Foley is not mentioned in Burke, but is mentioned in his father's will, who left him £10,000, which was to revert to his elder brother if he died without male issue. As Paul Foley had a Herefordshire estate, it is much more probably that the MP should be his younger son, rather than a nephew living in Staffordshire.
