The Prefix "Lord" is not really correct here - it is used for the younger son of a Duke or Marquess, which Macmillan definitely wasn't.

Thanks for highlighting this Richard - I will change it.

The proper capitalisation of this name is "Macmillan", not "MacMillan".

I made the change you suggested. The Prime Minister's Grandfather's use the Scottish spelling as they were from Scotland. However, The publishing Company they founded did spell it your way. The Wikipedia Page for the publisher mixes the spelling depending on which generation they are referring to. I went to the profile for Harald's father. I don't manage it. I left a private message to the manager about this but had not yet seen the publisher's Wikipedia Page.

We know it's short notice, so don't fret too much. Just do what you can.

Thanks!
