Wikidata:WikiProject Authority control/The Peerage errors

This page aims to collect all The Peerage entries which have errors or omissions of some type, in order to have them corrected at the Peerage database. User:DarrylLundy monitors this page and makes the changes at The Peerage database. These changes may take a week to show up online.

Warning: Wikidata or Wikipedia should not be used as a source for The Peerage per w:WP:CIRCULAR. Use of Geni.com, WikiTree, FamilySearch family tree (not primary records) should also be avoided as these website are known to copy data from The Peerage which may result in circular reference.

Typos identified at Wikidata edit

These still need to be fixed at the Peerage end, when fixed they will be migrated to the bottom list.

Spelling and other name corrections edit

Warning: The Peerage covers entries over a period of 1,000 years, with many changes in spelling of names in that time. Multiple sources may give slight variations in spelling of a particular name. If a name used by The Peerage appears in published source material then that name should be recorded as an alias at Wikidata; no correction at source is necessary.

Changes to the names of the descendants of James Drummond Buller-Fullerton-Elphinstone. It is certain that their surname was not Buller-Fullerton-Elphinstone; probably it was Elphinstone. I've put a long discussion on the talk page, where I try to reconcile sometimes conflicting evidence -- and please check out the sources there, because you may disagree with me; here's a summary of what names I ultimately went with in my Wikidata edits, if different from "The Peerage."

I changed my mind about the spelling of the middle name of James Andrew Colvile Wedderburn-Maxwell. Either Colvile or Colville is form in use, and not a typo. The Wedderburn Book says "Colville" but the gravestone says Colvile; other sources, less authoritative, are about equally divided between the two.Levana Taylor (talk) 03:55, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Charlotte Jane Willis Fleming's name is actually just Charlotte Jane Fleming, so stated in Burke's, the Gentleman's Magazine, County Families, etc. etc. As for her father's name, see here -- the short version is that an Act of Parliament changed his name from Willis to Fleming 7 July 1813, the new name supposed to be "exclusive of [his] own surname," and although that page says "his descendants used a hyphenated version of the name" not a single contemporary source that I've seen reports Charlotte as doing so. On the other hand, her brother John Brown was constantly referred to as John Brown Willis-Fleming during his lifetime, though his legal surname stated in Fleming's Estate Act 1877 was Fleming.

Surname corrections. When William Barton Powlett Wallop (142540) became the legatee of the trust of William Powlett Powlett, the surname Powlett was added to the name of the members of his family in a variety of different ways. He himself took the surname Wallop-William-Powlett, but his wife, Ellen (or Ellinor) Fleming (142541), was Mrs. Powlett. His children had Wallop as a middle name. His son (142545) used the surname William-Powlett, so Barton Newton Wallop William-Powlett; his daughters just Powlett: Camilla Henrietta Maria Wallop Powlett (142546), Dorothea Ellinor Mary Wallop Powlett (142547), Katherine Gertrude Wallop Powlett (142548), Rose Maria Wallop Powlett (142549). On the other hand, Barton Newton's wife, Emily Charlotte Tyndall Reibey (333958), was Mrs. William-Powlett and all of his children and their descendants also used the name William-Powlett.

William Brodie Gurney (Q8005966) : "William Barrow Gurney" (TP 1) is incorrect. The name should be "William Brodie Gurney" as per TP 2 (with which TP 1 should be merged).

Digby Dent (Q5488127) TP calls him "Commodore Digby West" with a citation to Burke's Peerage 64e (1902), which may or may not be available online. However according to the 1914 edition, p. 650 s.v. FULLER-ELIOTT-DRAKE, "Sophia, m. 1st, Commodore Digby Dent; and 2ndly, . Sir George Pocock, K.B., and bad issue", which also corresponds to the ODNB entry for Pocock [97] "he married Sophia Pitt Dent (d. 1767), daughter of George Francis Drake, granddaughter of Sir Francis Drake, bt, and widow of his friend, Commodore Digby Dent".

William Lygon (Q75439487) TP 1 names the first husband of Margaret Cocks as "John Lygon". But more likely the name of her husband was "William Lygon", as per TP 2.

"John" is given by multiple tertiary sources in their entries for the 1st Earl of Hardwicke. But the sources for "William" give a marriage date, death date, and connecting narrative; and are drawn from papers and letters still extant in the records at Madresfield Court, with no mention of a John in this generation.

George H[enry] M[axwell] Batten of the Bengal Civil Service was not the father of Katherine Jane Batten, but her brother; their father, likewise in the Bengal civil service, was George Maxwell Batten (7 Apr 1808 - 21 Jul 1834). And here are some missing connections between people on the Peerage site:
- GMB's father (GHMB's and Katherine's grandfather) was J[oseph] H[allet] Batten.
- There was also a third child in the family, Amelia Frances Sophia Batten (12 Dec 1830 - 20 Feb 1910). She married Graham Egerton Huddleston and was the mother of Willoughby Baynes Huddleston. This means that Willoughby's wife Mary Lawrence Strachey, daughter of Katherine, was his first cousin.
- GMB's wife (married 27 Oct 1829), mother of GHMB, Katherine, and Amelia, was Amelia Frances Chicheley Plowden (27 Oct 1811 - 9 Jan 1864), sister of Henrietta Isabella Philippa Chichele Plowden. [See "Names" section above.] After GMB's death, she married (5 Mar 1835) General Sir John Cheape; he divorced her by act of Parliament in 1844. Her third husband (12 Nov 1844) was General Sir Charles John Foster, K.C.B.

She was the brother of Roger of Salerno (Q550310) (TP). Sourcing on the parentage of the second Altrude could be stronger.

Otto III, Duke of Carinthia (Q682317) (TP). Otto seems to be widely given a date of birth of "about 1265". This would mean he could not have been the son of Conrad IV of Germany (Q157179), who died in 1254. Instead he is said to be the son of Elisabeth of Bavaria, Queen of Germany (Q261237) by her second husband Meinhard (Q697204) (from whom he would more naturally inherit).

Jacob Bosanquet (Q75578758) (TP 1) : Correct parents are David Bosanquet (Q75578722) (TP 2) and Elizabeth Hays (Q75578744) (TP 3). TP 1 inserts an additional generation, and gives his father as "unknown Smith-Bosanquet" (TP 4). But the Smith-Bosanquets descend from Horace James Smith-Bosanquet (Q75327714) who married Cecilia Jane Wentworth Bosanquet (Q75432584) on 7 October 1858. Furthermore there is no reference to either Bosanquet or Smith-Bosanquet in the index of [170], the reference given. Instead, per the sources linked from FamilySearch M35Y-VNB, the christening record for Jacob in 1713 indeed gives his parents as David and Elizabeth. Jheald (talk) 17:58, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Catherine Rigby (Q75253678) (b. 1663; m1. 1683) TP 1. Correct parents are Alexander Rigby (Q4719937) (1620-1694) and Margaret Hoghton (Q76011914), but TP 1 for Catherine says TP 2 "Colonel Alexander Rigby [who] married Anne Gobard, daughter of John Gobard". That Alexander corresponds to Alexander Rigby (Q4719936) (1594-1650), the father of her actual father. The reference for Catherine's father is given as "BP2003 volume 1, page 1102". I don't have access to the 2003 edition, but the 1913 edition, s.v. Derby (p.603) has "Peter [Stanley] m. 19 April 1683 Catherine. dau. of Col. Alexander Rigby, and was bur. 27 Jan. 1686, having by her (who m. 2ndly. Paul Amyas); had issue:...". In fact both Alexanders, father and son, were made colonel (and both served as MPs).

Duplicate Peerage entries edit

Once the duplicated entries have been merged at The Peerage, the now invalid entry should be deprecated rather than deleted. This is because the ID was valid at a period of time and old information can still be accessed using the Internet Archive. The deprecated entry should be set with a qualifier of reason for deprecated rank (P2241) withdrawn identifier value (Q21441764).

Warning: Peerage ID may be reused for another person once they are deleted.

Sir Edward East, Bt. (Q76261498) (TP): conflates Sir William East, 1st Bt. (Q75273033) and Sir Edward East, 1st Baronet (Q7526553). The son of William East (Q75497049) of Hall Place and brother of Elizabeth East (Q75497046) was Sir William East, 1st Bt. (Q75273033) [204][205]. Sir Edward East, 1st Baronet (Q7526553), though born in the same year, was from a different family (HistParl).

Re: Retief family. See Talk Page for sources (and I do recommend looking at that discussion -- you should double-check my conclusions) but here is a summary of the corrections. I have checked the surnames of all of them, and they are all spelled Retief not Reteif, so I will not repeat that correction in every entry. Furthermore, every person in this family whom you have recorded as "Francois" has their name printed "François" in at least some sources, so probably "Francois" is an error due to omitting diacritics; if you can find their own signature to see if they wrote the diacritic that would be better of course!

John de Cerwick Leeds is John de Carrick Cheape. Caveat: "The Peerage" cites as its source the 2003 edition of Burke's Peerage, which I haven't been able to see. But, minus any updated information that may be there and nowhere online, here's the story. Sources are the 1911 census, Hart's Army List 1915, his CWGC page, and a mini-bio compiled in his hometown. All agree that he was born in 1894 in Switzerland, that his name was John de Carrick Cheape (the middle name misspelled Carrich on his gravestone in France), and that he lived with his mother Antoinette Ann Cheape (n.b.: not "Anne") in Framfield, Sussex. Antoinette had divorced her husband A. R. B. Leeds in 1885 and returned to her maiden name. I can't find any evidence at all of who John's father was. --Levana Taylor (talk) 01:27, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
