I added link to peerage, which confirms the existence of this person. I also happen to know that a recent contributor to this article is a relative, who specialises in genealogy, and who has no reason that I know of to falsify any information in the article. Therefore feel justified in removing the unverified link. Matt Stan 14:44, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

What unverified link? Anyway, doing general cleaunp on all the Arbuthnots. Non-notable information removed:

  • Fifth son of Archibald Francis Arbuthnot.
  • Married, 9 September 1873 Isabella Albinia Boyle, son of 8th Earl of Cork. *Had issue.

Couple questions about this article:

  • It says sir, but gives no other indication that he was a knight or a baronet. I left it in, but I'm not sure I should have.
  • There is a category for British Indian Administrators and British Indian Military, but not other British Indians. So, for a guy like this, whose entire career was apparantly spent in India, and for all I know may have lived and died in India, but was not an immigrant in the usual sense, is he an Indian Such-and-Such, or a British Such-and-Such? I put him in both categories, but for the stub just British.

Knighted - not a baronet. Knight Bachelor has no postnominal. He was British but spent most of his business career in India. He retired to England where he died. So I would describe him as British and not Indian. Kittybrewster 02:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
