Talk:Edward Burgh (baron)

Request move to Edward Burgh, 2nd Baron Burgh of Gainsborough

Before I did anything -- I was wondering if there would be a problem if I moved this page from the current title to what his name appears to be in peerage and other books - Edward Burgh, 2nd Baron Burgh of Gainsborough. I am suggesting a move to Edward Burgh, 2nd Baron Borough of Gainsborough. Sources:

The title could even be cut down to Edward Burgh, 2nd Baron Burgh like his son's title of Thomas Burgh, 1st Baron Burgh. Thoughts? -- Lady Meg (talk) 04:12, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Remove the Barony entirely. It's a twentieth-century figment. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 15:25, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Language usage?

The family 'apparently contained the genetic seeds of insanity...': is this a quote or can it be rephrased? Jackiespeel (talk) 10:02, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
