@Opera hat: Are all of the individuals in this category of English nationality, or does the category includes non-English people who held this rank? -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 21:56, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Richard Richards (judge) and William Wynne (lawyer) were both Welsh, while Robert Spankie was Scottish-born. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 19:30, 3 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
