Talk:Thomas Harley (politician, born 1730)

Recent change

a user (not logged in) has replaced the start:

• (24 August 1730 – 1 December 1804) was a younger son of Edward Harley, 3rd Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer.

With:

• (1693 – ?) was a younger son of Robert Harley, 1st Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer.

ADDING AT END:

• He was married to Elizabeth Love on 5th February 1728/1729.They were married at Abberley Broadwas, Worcestershire, England. His parents were Thomas Harley and Hannah Harley.

Was this pure vandalism? Alternatively, has the user conflated two different people called Thomas Harley, or what? I was going to revert this as the old version was according to the sources cited, but am leaving it for the moment. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:33, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Apparently the Thomas Harley b. c.1693, married at Abberley Broadwas, etc., may have been a natural son of the 1st Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer, but that's distinctly unproven. (Perhaps even unlikely; it's hard to imagine Harley's enemies would have overlooked his existence.) He appears to be only of genealogical importance, and is probably best omitted.

Thank you, also to the person who did the revert. I would add that Abberley and Broadwas are separate parishes, some miles apart, so that even that "fact" is ambiguous. Peterkingiron (talk) 10:25, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
