Alexander Dundas Young Arbuthnott
Hi. In the article on Alexander Dundas Young Arbuthnott, the birth and death dates in the article are different than those in the Categories. Also, events in the article indicate a lifespan from the very early 19th century (or earlier) to at least 1942. Perhaps you have conflated two persons? More details on article's talk page. Thanks!

- Oh, OK, got it. The later dates and some of the honors properly belonged to Geoffrey Schomberg Arbuthnot. Fixed that. Some other questions remain about A.D.Y. Arbuthnot, listed on the talk page. Herostratus 17:45, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
Re: Dalrymple Arbuthnot
Oh, and let me congratulate you on the Arbuthnot family series! Didn't mean to just jump in with questions. But I do have some on Dalrymple Arbuthnot such that I felt I had to put a verify tag on the article. The questions are on the article's talk (discussion) page, looking forward to working with you on clearing up these questions. Herostratus 21:47, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Proper designation for Baronets?
I'm given to understand that the usual designation in the UK (and the Commonwealth, I suppose) for Baronets is:
- Sir Arbuthnot, Bt
However, for the edification of our American readers (of which I am one), I would like to spell out the title, as shown below. I assume that this is OK since it is just enlarging an abbreviation, right? Like this:
- Sir Arbuthnot, Baronet
But, I would to be even more specific. I guess that Baronets don't have a geographic designation as part of their name? Which seems very confusing to me. So, are any of these designations proper?:
- Sir Arbuthnot, Baronet of Edinburgh
- Sir Arbuthnot, nth Baronet of Edinburgh
- Sir Arbuthnot, Baronet Arbuthnot of Edinburgh
- Sir Arbuthnot, nth Baronet Arbuthnot of Edinbburgh
Or is there another convention that can be used to differentiate (say) a Baronet of Edinburgh from a Baronet of Kittybrewster? Get back to me when you can! Thanks! Herostratus 17:51, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
All Baronetcies have a territorial designation (as do all peerages except, I think, Royal ones). So the correct description would be
- Sir Arbuthnot, 2nd Baronet of Edinburgh
and/or * Sir Arbuthnot of Edinburgh, 2nd Baronet User:Kittybrewster 23:32, 20 January 2006
Ludlow or Edinburgh?
In the article Baronet Arbuthnot of Edinburgh, it speaks of the "Arbuthnot Baronetcy of Edinburgh", but the article Arbuthnot Baronets, it uses the name "Arbuthnot Baronetcy of Ludlow", to speak of what clearly is the same title. Is one wrong, or are they interchangable, or what? Herostratus 17:56, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
Arbuthnot of Ludlow is an error. Arbuthnot of Edinburgh is correct. User:Kittybrewster
