Which branch of the Talbots, please

At present the article says that William was a son of Sir Henry Talbot of Templeogue. Lenihan's book "The last Cavalier", p. 118, is cited for this. This book does not seem to be available on line and I cannot verify. According to Burke's Landed Gentry (1879), the William Talbot who died at Derry is a son of a Walter Talbot, one of the Talbots of Castle-Talbot (co. Wexford). Of course Burke might be wrong. This "Lieutenant-Colonel" and "Wicked Will" might have been confused with Sir William Talbot, 3rd Baronet (still another of your articles), who did not die at Derry but was a nephew of Tyrconnell as Walker maintains. Can anybody help? What does Lenihan really say about Wicked Will's origins? With thanks and best regards, Johannes Schade (talk) 21:57, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Change of citation style

Dear wikipedians involved in this article. I obtained permission to change the citation style from "<ref></ref>" to a style using {{Sfn}} from User:Lord Cornwallis, creator and main contributor to this article. I would guess this is sufficient. However, if you want to object, this is the place to do it. With thanks and best regards, Johannes Schade (talk) 11:29, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
