Sons inaccurately described

[edit]

The following sentence is inaccurate about the sons of Andre Melly:

Melly's son Charles Pierre Melly became a Liberal MP for Stoke-on-Trent[1] while his son George was an MP in the House of Commons.

Although cited to a book about Charles Pierre Melly, the latter was never an MP for Stoke; only his brother George was, as borne out by the table of MPs for Stoke-upon-Trent (UK Parliament constituency) between 1832 and 1885. I am therefore amending the sentence to reflect this.Cloptonson (talk) 18:47, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
