• Baron Dunboyne

• Different Baron numbers:
  • Older [Burkes Peerage] has a quite different tree between the 2nd Baron and the 7th Baron above. It also ends up with a different numbering system.
  • We are following the newer [Burkes Peerage] which we assume is a correction of the old one.
  • The genealogics site unfortunately follows the old [Burkes Peerage]. We assume that is wrong, both in the tree and in the Baron numbers.
