Hi Dennis, Liz. Could you update this placeholder bio to clarify the de la Warre marriage, and disambiguate the Eleanors? Even the comment here from 2018 via Richardson is itself confusing, depending how one parses the syntax of the last sentence of the first paragraph: i.e. who are the parents of Eleanor (Percy) West aka Lady la Warre. If Liz is correct this profile should be merged away entirely. Who is managing that? If no-one, then Dennis, respectfully suggest you remove yourself from the profile to orphan it.
