Talk:First Lord of the Admiralty

message: Gramatically should this not actually be "Lords High Admiral" and not "Lord High Admirals" similary to offices such as "Lieutenants Governor" or "Governors General"?  Lord is the noun, High Admiral is the adjectival qualifer of what sort of Lord we're discussing.  I'm fairly certain this is the convention, at least in CE.

replies: text: As with the other grand serjeanties (Lord High Constable, Lord High Chamberlain, etc.), I think it's the final noun that governs in this case. Choess 17:35, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Name of this article, again 

message: Hi I have been updating sources for First Lord of the Admiralty in my draft here:User:Navops47/sandbox2. There are discrepancies with articles created and this Debrett's listing here:https://books.google.lk/books?id=v6u5S-H7BCUC&pg=PA88&dq=Daniel+Finch,+8th+Earl+of+Winchilsea+First+Lord+of+the+Admiralty&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiolIrRg8bSAhVIqI8KHWpTBCEQ6AEIHDAB#v=onepage&q=Daniel%20Finch%2C%208th%20Earl%20of%20Winchilsea%20First%20Lord%20of%20the%20Admiralty&f=false
According to listing on page 88 its states that Daniel Finch, 2nd Earl of Nottingham, , 7th Earl of Winchilsea was First Lord of the Admiralty in 1741 and again in 1757, however in the First Lord of the Admiralty it lists the 8th Earl of Winchilsea. I am no expert but when reading the Debrett's section it appears that this article Thomas Finch, 2nd Earl of Winchilsea eldest son of the Elizabeth Finch, 1st Countess of Winchilsea has been named wrong he was the 1st Earl  which now affects all succeeding articles requesting further investigation from someone more qualified to double check.--Navops47 (talk) 05:09, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: He was the eighth holder of the earldom, but as it was created for a woman, the seventh earl to hold the earldom. Different sources use different numbering in these types of cases. I personally think peeresses suo jure should be included in the numbering: although Thomas Finch was the first person to be Earl of Winchilsea, calling his article Thomas Finch, 1st Earl of Winchilsea would imply that the title was created for him.
