Research Notes
Although James Balfour Paul is considered reliable, he certainly was not infallible and his treatment of the Broomhill line is one of those instances. It seems to best authority here is Birnie. Anderson, who has also covered the Broomhill line subsequently corrected his work in response to Birnie who was working with the original charters. Cokayne appears to be correct in his Baronetage
