Title edit

This has been going backwards and forwards. The relevant part of the guideline - Wikipedia:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility)#British nobility is point three, which deals with the titling of baronets. A baronetcy being distinct from a knighthood. It states "A baronet should never be referred to with the title but without "Sir" preceding (e.g. do not use "William Williams, 2nd Baronet, of Clapton")." So the Sir must remain attached to the 1st Baronet in Sir Thomas Bishopp, 1st Baronet. Point 4, about the title Sir that comes with a knighthood, is not connected to this issue of the baronetcy. Had Bishopp not received a baronetcy but only a knighthood, the Sir would probably not be used in the title. Benea (talk) 21:19, 14 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Elizabeth Belknap edit

Are we sure his mother was Elizabeth Belknap. This might be confused with his son who married an Elizabeth Belknap. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.36.204.215 (talk) 21:56, 21 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
