That sounds like a plausible thing for a 'bot to do. In fact, when I posted this reply, on my own Talk page the same bot intercepted my use of the same word – hence it's "(elided)" above, and I've removed where I initially used it below. Perhaps the 'bot should allow suspected vandals to vandalise their own Talk pages ;^>
It remains that this was the name by which my mother's family normally (and respectfully) addressed her uncle, a much-loved retired naval officer by the time I knew him.
Roger Ernest Peers (I missed off his second name, forgotten, when originally writing; and I'm not sure whether it was Earnest or Ernest, but best guess is the latter) was my grandfather and Robert Witherington Peers was my great-uncle; their big brother was Charles (Jack), but I saw rather less of him. I don't have any more reliable source, other than "ask my family". I don't think Robert's compilation of family history was ever published; just passed around the family.
I would love to, but last time I looked the namespace was so crowded – mostly with obviously-abandoned accounts – that finding a sensible unused name was more hassle than I was willing to go through.
@ Majavah: I understand the reluctance to edit without a verifiable source. I know who Charles Reed Peers's children were (and that they're all dead) but don't know where to find published verification. Thanks for the tip on user-names. I now can't find a list of user names, since neither Category:Users nor Category:User seems to exist.
