message: I know that many works make reference to General De Gaulle's family living in Ellesmere during the Second World War? Can anyone supply further details - my understanding is that the family actually lived in Criftins (just outside Ellsmere). Anyone have any dates? Locations? Charles Knight 12:08, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Re his peerage.  In Notable People section I have deleted the "& 1st Duke of Ellesmere" (title never existed, and his uncle's Dukedom of Bridgewater became extinct and did not pass to himself).  In the general history, his Earldom and Viscountcy of Brackley were created concurrently - see his wiki article, main source DNB - not the Viscountcy after the Earldom.  The Viscountcy would have been subsumed by the Earldom and borne as 'courtesy title' by any eldest son in the father's lifetime.Cloptonson (talk) 22:40, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

message: I was going to delete the line that states that the Microsoft HQ is a big employer in the town, but I cannot find any evidence or source to back that up. According to the MS site http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/about/offices/default.aspx there are no offices in Ellesmere, in fact the HQ is in Reading.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcdragonsi (talk • contribs) 09:01, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

message: I question the allegation (section History), against which I raised citation need, that the mediaeval warrior was born in Ellesmere. No birthplace is indicated in his wiki article and he was of a Norfolk family where his family's seat appears to have been. Sourced proof  please. .Cloptonson (talk) 07:18, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
