Richard Edgcumbe

[edit]

The blue link on here to Richard Edgcumbe (politician) goes to another politician of this name. I haven't changed it as I wasn't sure what to change it to. This is partly because he may also be the person behind these incoming links to RE (politician):

If he is, then if someone has a source, could they please create a stub? If he probably isn't, this page should probably be changed to give a redlink to Richard Edgcumbe (MP for Grampound). Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 07:11, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disenfranchisement date

[edit]

The article currently has the seat disenfranchised in 1821. This is sort of correct, but also a bit confusing - the Act gained royal assent on 8 June 1821, but did not vacate the seats of the existing MPs, who remained in office for the remainder of their terms. I think the most reasonable interpretation here is to say the seat lasted until dissolution in 1826. (Text of the Act; History of Parliament summary). Will update the page but noting this here since there is some ambiguity. Andrew Gray (talk) 17:35, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
