Dear all,

I have spotted a number of apparent minor errors/typos/inconsistencies in the territorial designations listed on http://www.peerages.info/peerages5.htm (UK peerage creations from 1801, life peerages section).

Many thanks for your eagle eye! I have corrected these, with a couple of exceptions where I am not convinced that the Gazette was correct, namely Lord Crickhowell (https://hansard.parliament.uk/lords/1987-11-04/debates/a91ff7d6-754e-4407-bcf6-dc2c58f8bda7/LordCrickhowell) and Lord Russell-Johnston (https://hansard.parliament.uk/Lords/1997-07-23/debates/700e6c7a-1afe-4af8-a2eb-77888d12c4a4/LordRussell-Johnston).
