It is indeed a very useful list.  Just a few comments/additions-

It may be worth adding Cavan E (I, 1647) which became dormant in 1988

Dunmore B (UK, 1831) became extinct in 1980 with the death of the 9th Earl of Dunmore

Hall V  (UK, 1946) became extinct with the death of the 2nd Viscount in 1985

Melchett B (UK, 1928) became extinct with the death of the 4th Baron Melchett in 2018

Rusholme B and Salter B seem to be duplicated

Wicklow E - it became extinct in 1978

A most excellent list, Breadalbane isn't extinct  or dormant, just dormant. We known who the next claimeant is, a former Hungariantaxi driver.
