My name's Donald Renouf (the surname is from the Channel Islands). I was born in Reading, and was educated at Reading School, Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Penrith and the University of St Andrews. I presently live in Cockermouth, in Cumberland.
Apart from minor edits here and there, I usually concentrate on the peerage and related subjects, adding and expanding articles on various titles, e.g. Earl of Melfort, Earl Nugent, Earl Temple, Baron Mount Temple, Baron Mountjoy. I've also added a List of French peerages and a List of French dukedoms (the latter still incomplete) and a few articles on French noble titles, e.g. Duc de Berry, Duc de Montmorency, Prince de La Moskowa.
Recently I've added a series of lists of members of the Government of the United Kingdom during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, now collected at List of British Governments. John Kenney has also done quite a bit of work on this project, adding lots of links as well as lists for the beginning of the twentieth century. I've also done a few articles comprising lists of office-holders, e.g. Mistress of the Robes, Vice-President of the Board of Trade, List of Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. Leading on from the last of these, I've also added some stubs on admirals of the Royal Navy.
