Thepeerage.com

I admit that I have a slight problem here. I first came across thepeerage.com when I was searching for "Dundonald".

Daryll Lundy's website is obviously a vast bidy of work but I am not sure for whos benefit it serves.

I have repeated his goal and the description of his website in the quotes below. However, I have also found another entry in his database that I find strange even though I know why it is there.

Dilemma

The dilemma I have is that I cannot publish the names of the individuals that I have found in Daryll's database as I am sure that it would be misconstrued.

The entries that I have found are legitamet ones as they do relate to the peerage, however, I am of the opinion that this is besides the point and the persons recorded are not relevant to either the history of the peerage and also to the history of the village.

What Daryll Lundy says about his website:

The goal of this website is to capture in one place all of the members of the inter-connected families of the British peerage.The site is the result of around 17 years of work by one (somewhat eccentric) person collating information on the British Peers (and some European royals), and then entering it into a range of various genealogy programs. I do find conflicting info while expanding the database, and so try to resolve these conflicts and errors as I go.

NOTE: this site is a work in progress, due to new reference sources becoming available for these families as well as new births, deaths and marriages. It is possible a few errors have crept in, so please pay attention to the credibility of each of the citations given when evaluating the quality and accuracy of this data. Your help in finding, reporting and fixing any errors is hugely appreciated.

The editing of Wikipedia pages

During the construction of this page it occured to me that someone that I know may have done this.

The legitimate children of a life peer appointed under the Life Peerages Act 1958 are entitled to style themselves with the prefix "The Honourable", although they cannot inherit the peerage itself.

Seeing that Wikipedia is often used a reference to support an argument, in fact I do this all the time. I hope that I have taken mitigating steps by not provding direct links to Wikipedia pages.
