Talk:Leicester (UK Parliament constituency)

William Bolt

I have removed the blue article link to his name as it connected him to a much later NZ politician, William Mouat Bolt, and have created a new (so far red) link called 'William Bolt (MP for Leicester)'.Cloptonson (talk) 05:40, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

Eyre Coote

The Eyre Coote elected 1768 is article linked to 'Eyre Coote (East India Company officer)' whose Wikipedia article article only mentions he was MP for Maryborough in the Irish parliament and Poole (1774-80) in the British. Please establish if this was the same man. If it was, introduce service as MP for Leicester in the biographical article.Cloptonson (talk) 05:52, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

I have answered my own request as I found it is mentioned in his sketch in the Dictionary (and later Oxford Dictionary) of National Biography. I have made good the deficiency in his wikipedia article but not tried to add a succession table.Cloptonson (talk) 14:08, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
