Sheriff inconsistency

High Sheriff of Fermanagh seems not to be consistent with the ODNB story, where the stabbed sheriff is Sir John Wemyss. There is a paper The Trials of Bishop Spottiswood 1620-40 by Gillespie, and Sir William Cole there is called justice of the peace. So there is something to investigate here.

OK, so the problem was with High Sheriff of Fermanagh and how the source list was copied in. Seems to be fine now. Charles Matthews (talk) 18:12, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
