Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on August 31, 2021.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that William Trench, 5th Earl of Clancarty, had three children who also became earls of Clancarty?
Current status: Former good article nominee

Which sons were earls?

[edit]

Hi @Capsulecap and Charles Matthews: I read the hook about there being three of the earl's sons who became earls themselves, and I came to the article to read more, but I found that although the children are listed, it isn't clear which three were the next earls. I'm guessing from the dates, and other articles that it was Richard Frederick John Donough Le Poer Trench up to 1971, Greville Sydney Rocheforte Le Poer Trench up to 1975, and William Francis Brinsley Le Poer Trench to 1995, but it would be nice if you could add that detail to the article, assuming it is in your sources. Oh, and another question - are all of the children mentioned here listed on page 793 of Burke's Peerage, Baronetage & Knightage? Just checking that to make sure they're adequately sourced, since I don't have access to it myself. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 23:03, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

checkY I added the status of the earls using the Wikidata page for him. It does seem that from other sources and the website itself that Burke's mentions it, so I'd say likely yes. Capsulecap (talkcontribs) 00:07, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
THanks, @Capsulecap: that looks great.  — Amakuru (talk) 10:11, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
