Talk:Viscount Gormanston

Irish properties

Why were the family's Irish properties sold in 1950? Drutt (talk) 01:01, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

eldest AND youngest son?

I think there are some problems with this part of the list:

eldest son of 2nd and youngest son of the 6th Viscount (1) Anthony Preston, de jure 9th Viscount Gormanston (died 1716); only brother of the de jure 8th Viscount (2) Jenico Preston, de jure 10th Viscount Gormanston (1707–1757); only son of de jure 9th Viscount Anthony Preston, de jure 11th Viscount Gormanston (1736–1786); eldest son of the de jure 10th Viscount

1. How can anybody be the son of two people? 2. what makes the rest of this part uncomprehensable

Well, I am the son of two people, my mother and my father. But note the "2nd" refers to son, not title. And you probably mean "incomprehensible".
