What is the point in having links which redirect right back to the original page?
My family is in Australia where we have lived since the turn of the century. My name is Michael Kenric Bedford RUSSELL.
My father et al always said I was a descendant from the Dukes of Bedford, and I was very proud, as a child.
Subsequently I have learned that there is a difference between the "Russells of Bedford" and the "Bedford Russells".
I believe that John, PM of England, Bertrand Russell and the current dukes are "Russells of Bedford".
I fear that I am but a mere "Bedford Russell"
Does anyone know of a connection?
Please email me at mike-russell@iinet.net.au if you any information.
Thank you
Mike````

A webpage, cited here, moved from Prodigy to Angelfire. An anonymous user changed the external link accordingly, and a bot reverted, I guess because Angelfire links are deprecated. No link is better than a dead link, so I removed it. — Tamfang ( talk) 05:12, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
The latest edit puzzles me. The edit summary is:
If they have succeeded (through some disaster), is Robin Loel now the 17th Duke? — Tamfang ( talk) 03:02, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

This article does not explain why the same person was made Duke of Bedford twice, and neither does his own article. I think we need a source for the second creation, and an explanation. Richard75 ( talk) 13:15, 30 August 2021 (UTC)

I don't see any reference to this title, which was held by the father of the philosopher Bertrand Russell (later Earl Russell). As far as I can discover, it was a subsidiary title granted to the Prime Minister Lord John Russell (a younger son of the then Duke of Bedford) when he was given the title (as a true peerage, not a courtesy title) Earl Russell. His son (father of Bertrand), was then able to use it as a courtesy title during the lifetime of his father. These things do get confusing, and it may seem a minor point, but as Lord John Russell and his grandson Bertrand are probably the most notable members of the Russell tribe it may be worth mentioning somewhere in the article. 2A00:23C8:7907:4B01:E5DA:63D5:D34D:EE7F ( talk) 12:40, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
