Confusion over Sir James Lyall vs Sir Charles James Lyall has been resolved. It's Sir James Lyall. See discussion: Talk:Charles James Lyall#City named after him |
---|
Which Sir James Lyall was Lyallpur named after? Charles James Lyall or James Broadwood Lyall? The source given in our article and the Encyclopedia Britannica article say it's Charles James Lyall, the Lt. Governon of Punjab. Fine, but this seems self-contradictory as this Lyall doesn't appear to have ever been a Governon of Punjab (not mentioned in his article, seems unlikely given the rest of his career, doesn't appear in List of governors of Punjab (British India)). James Broadwood Lyall on the other hand was a Lt. Governor of Punjab, and roughly at the same time that the city was founded, and in the History section of the current article there's mention of his involvement in its creation. The sources I've encountered so far mostly simply say "James Lyall, the Lt. Governor of Punjab" without indicating which of the two that is ). It seems most reasonable that this is James Broadwoood Lyall, and that the sources that have it as Charles James Lyall are in error. Any thoughts? Noting there was an earlier discussion in 2011. – Uanfala (talk) 15:30, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
