Baron Boothby

[edit]

Why is Robert Boothby not listed here? He was created 1st Baron Boothby, of Buchan and Rattray Head in the County of Aberdeen, on 22 August 1958.

I shan't add him as the list is supposedly complete and I may not understand it properly.--Oxonian2006 08:58, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Boothby was a peer for life, rather than an hereditary peer. Thus he appears on this list DBD 20:31, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sub-categories

[edit]

I have just made sub-categories to make searches easier and thought periods of 25 years would do. I hope it was a good idea.

Wilson government

[edit]

The baronies of St. Helens (on 30/12/1964) and Margadale (on 1/1/1965) (and possibly others) were created during Wilson's premiership. Did Wilson recommend them to be created, or were they still recommended by his predecessor Douglas-Home? The two went to conservative politicians, after all.--Roentgenium111 (talk) 18:15, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Same for Erroll of Hale (17/12/1964), created after Wilson's ascension in 10/1964...--Roentgenium111 (talk) 23:35, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
