→Early life: The Church of Ireland is Anglo-Catholic, the theology didn't change when they broke away from Rome, they still say the Apostles' Creed, "..I believe in the Holy Ghost; The holy Catholic Church; The Communion of Saints..". (They are only protestant by default)

Charles Algernon Parsons
people really need to research this, There is a a lot of work done on the Parsons, and it shows that one of the main reasons the family turned towards science/engineering (instead of public life & politics) was because of disgust of the (illegal) Act of Union (1800). Later the these protestant Irishmen were surprised to hear themselves as "hyphenated Irishmen" as they considered themselves Irish. Parsons was brought up in Ireland, educated in Ireland (at the family HOME (which was in IRELAND)

Undid revision 982424574 by GPinkerton (talk) Kelvin originally NOT "from Scotland" as biased anti-Ireland GPinkerton says, in fact Kelvin moved to Scotland FROM IRELAND aged 10. Family already in Ireland for 4 generations when moved. GP seeks to oddly deny link to Ireland even though Kelvin said himself (1883) "he spoke as an Irishman on the Irish Question" p67 http://www.maths.tcd.ie/pub/ims/bull48/BR48.Tags: UndoReverted

This is factually correct, check the references which are >100 years old. It you want to indulge in 'consensus', then let's get a group of people together in e.g. 1920 (one of refs from then) via a time-machine and let's change history (with "consensus")Tag: Reverted

I just looked up GPinkerton, and (if he's even one person), he seems to be, well to say the least, a bit odd (if not actually mad?) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:GPinkerton#Notice_of_edit_warring_noticeboard_discussion_2Tag: Reverted

Known for many decades as the FitzGerald-Lorentz Contraction before some tried to reverse it or even drop FitzGerald, who came up with it first (hence his name was first). Not the usual convention but FitzGerald is also alphabetically first.

Lord Kelvin
please do not deny his Irish link: he was raised in Ireland (of Ulster-Scot heritage) by a family already in Ireland for 4 generations then went to Scotland. Rankine/Watt/Telford/Newcomen/Stephenson/Babbage/Brunel are not referred to as 'British' in the description so please don't use a different method here in an attempt to deny Thomson's link to Ireland. When 59 years old in 1883 he "said he spoke as an Irishman on the Irish Question", see in p67 http://www.maths.tcd.ie/pub/ims/bull48/BR48

Edwards is not employed as a historian (unlike some of her relatives), she is not a professional historian, nor publishes in hard-to-get-into peer-reviewed professional history journals. Her work is not to that standard. She is an amateur.
