I included that fact because it explained how a British peer and his family ended up living in Victoria (although I probably wouldn't include this information after the third generation). In my opinion, being the grandson of the Governor of an Australian state is as notable as his father's wife being a "grandaughter of the 1st Earl of Oxford and Asquith."

Only if you consider being governor of 1 of 6 Australian states - not even GG of A - is as notable as being PM of Britain for 8 years when she was *the* global superpower. Looking at other govenors, in say India, we barely mention it. As we have "The family now live at Mount Fyans, Victoria, Australia." on Earl of Stradbroke I feel its excess repetitionin each articleAlci1217:21, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Can we remove the same from Viscount Dunwich and ideally do any of the Australians have something we can post in its place? Is there anything we can say about Mount fyans as it's a dead link atm - do we know the job/profession of the present earl and his eldest to actually add some personal details?
Btw can someone confirm the Lord Rayner marriage. It's puzzling me. The only title I can think of is Lord Rayner, of Crowborough (Peerage 1983) but he died in 1998 so seems an unlikely marriage link for someone born in '64Alci1212:40, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The reference to the Governorship has been removed from Robert Rous, Viscount Dunwich. I don't know enought about the family to add anything about their occupations.
Also, the Earl of Stradbroke article mentions the subsiduary title "Baron Rous" which is listed in the successsion box for the 1st Earl, but not in any of the others. If it is passed on to the successive Earls, should it be included in their succession boxes? Similarly for the title "Viscount Dunwich". Or is that overkill?

It's sort of tacit, but if you read WP:PEER, "All peerages with different predecessors or successors should have individual boxes, as should those held at different dates." I read that as implying subsidiary titles that don't meet those qualifications should be omitted. Choess03:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
