There is a confusing set of references in the second and third pararaphs of the main article. The second pararaph ends with a sentence starting with "He" which refers to the baronet's father. The third pararaph starts with "He" referring to the baronet himself. Librarian16 (talk) 17:30, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
