Source: John Earle (1674-1749) came to Liverpool from Warrington in 1688, and by 1700 had established his own business trading in various commodities including an interest in the slave trade, which would continue in the family for over a century. John was Mayor of Liverpool in 1709. His youngest son William (1721-1788) became captain of the slave ship Chesterfield in 1751. John’s grandson Thomas (1754-1822) and his sons continued the family business, and in the 1830s the family acquired additional plantations in Guyana (formerly British Guiana). Hardman Earle (1792-1877) was John’s great-grandson. From here
Overall: Article is new enough, long and sourced. Hook is cited and interesting. qpq is done and no copyvio on Earwig. Either photo is also good on all counts. BuySomeApples (talk) 22:46, 24 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Nedrutland: I couldn't find the exact guidelines, but based upon similar pages it appears the page should be moved to Sir Hardman Earle, 1st Baronet as you indicated. I'm unfamiliar with the naming protocol, so I'll check again and then move, unless you are certain, in which case go ahead and move it. Desertarun (talk) 10:48, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I found the guidelines Wikipedia:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility). We should use the simple name Hardman Earle, unless disambiguation is needed, in which case we'd use Sir Hardman Earle, 1st Baronet. No disambiguation is necessary so I'll just be leaving the name as is. Desertarun (talk) 11:58, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Braine says that Earle was a churchwarden of St Peter's. I initially wikilinked this to St Peter's Church, Liverpool, since it was the city's original parish church and Ellison says (p.170) that in the 18th century the Earles "resided next to the river on the west side of the Salthouse dock". But since Earle was buried at Woolton Parish Church, which is also dedicated to St Peter, that must also be a candidate. The diocese will probably have the record.
