This is NOT the MP for Londonderry. Sir Ronald Ross died in 1932 whereas the MP for Londonderry sat in parliament until sometime in the 1950's.
I'm bemused by the references to "Sir Ross" in the article. It is customary in the UK to refer to knights of the realm either by their full name, as in "Sir Ronald Ross" or by their first name as in "Sir Ronald". The usage "Sir Ross" is unusual to say the least and, I'd venture to suggest, deserves editing. Al 23:08, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
If this is the MP for Londonderry (UK Parliament constituency) then it should say so, if then then a disambiguation is needed. --Henrygb 13:53, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
Ross was British rather than Scottish. The only Scottish connection seems to be his name. He was not born in Scotland, was educated in London and worked for the Liverpool Tropical Medicine Institute (both in England). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicol Watt (talk • contribs) 17:53, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
