I didn't. As far as I can see they wouldn't shed any useful light as they all reference matters that would not indicate notability, including non-notable actions or appointments or the existence of relatives, all but one having no indication of notability either (even were being related to someone of note satisfactory for one's own notability).

I thought I was creating a stub for others to expand on. To be honest, I am such a novice and will remain so, it has taken me ages to even find this. The 1851 Census shows him as living at 68 Eaton Place London and his occupation was Baronet with the 1861 Census showing him at 39 Princes Gate occupation Baronet. Entry in Probate Register, Baronet if that helps. But again, all subscription entry. I'll have to go back to his grandson's (Thomas Andrew Alexander Montgomery-Cuninghame) book (Dusty Measures) to see whether there is any mention in there.

JCTilley - I see newspaper coverage included in the article, albeit subscription-only, did it actually give
significant coverage of this man? For example, were they news stories about him? If there was nothing of this nature, just mentions of his name, then I am inclined to vote Delete. Census information is not significant coverage.

FOARP - No, not significant. I haven't been able to dig up that much on him at all to be fair. The Census was to show he was a Baronet in line with my thinking of the Wiki page Montogmery-Cuningham_baronets.

'Redirect as suggested. This is a well researched article about a person of minimal notability. Neither being bart nor DL nor Lieut-Col provides notability; nor do these in combination do so.

Searching in British Newspaper archive suggests that he was a Lieut-Col only 1850-1852. He would have continued to be called colonel after retiring, so that the 1856 reference is in an sense anachronistic but only implying he currently held the command. This reinforces my view that he was NN. Thisn contrasts with his son and successor who was notable as having a VC, the highest award fro bravery.
