Any reason this page shouldn't be split into two? Dsp13 (talk) 22:05, 22 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Guy Wygan edit

I've removed the entry "Guy Wygan (1560)" from the Cambridge list. It has been there from the start, but it doesn't check out. It looks rather like a transposition of 1540 for Edward Wigan, alias Wygan, alias Guy, by somebody misreading 1540 as 1560. Charles Matthews (talk) 08:09, 7 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've gone into the list provenance, and have had an email confirmation that it was caused by the date confusion. Charles Matthews (talk) 15:12, 20 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Dublin edit

There was also a Regius Professor of Divinity at Trinity College, Dublin. Not so easy to track down details, but it appears to have been founded under James I, and presumably came to an end in the 1920s. So here are some names to build up from:

1790-1819 James Drought
1819 Richard Graves (dean)
1829-1850 Charles Richard Elrington
1850-1862 Joseph Henderson Singer
1852-1866 Samuel Butcher (bishop)
1866 George Salmon
John Gwynn (professor) 1827–1917.

John Randolph edit

I've removed John Randolph (bishop of London) (1783-1807) from the Cambridge list and the associated navigational template. These were his dates as Regius Professor of Divinity at Oxford, and it seems extraordinarily improbable that he should have occupied the Cambridge chair simultaneously, and indeed that the ODNB would fail to mention it if he had.
