Good Morning!!

I am working on Baron Laurence Norman Helsby. He was created Baron Helsby, of Logmore in the County of Surrey [U.K. Life Peer] on May 21 1968.

I would appreciate some kind person setting up a category for him in the Barontage of England.

Thank you, Wendy Jones

The two categories for English life peers are [[Category:Life Peers of the United Kingdom]] and [[Category:England, Life Peers]]. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:British_Isles_Nobility

Thanks Stephen,

I can see putting him in the Life Peer category, but he is also a CB and a KBE, albeit this passes to his son but at this point there are only 2 who have held these titles. Would the Life Peer category suffice for now?

You can add [[Category:Knights Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath]] and [[Category:Knights Commander of the Order of the British Empire]]. Neither of those nor the life peerage would pass to his son, so it is not appropriate to make a category for his specific title.

Thank you for the categories, Stephen. I have added them. Wendy yes smiley
