Bernard Morrow or Lord Morrow?

[edit]

In the infobox, Morrow is given as Givan's predecessor as Minister for I-forget-and-dont-care-which department. I changed The Lord Morrow to Lord Morrow, on the basis that the latter is far more frequently used, and also MOS:LORD never mentions The Lord. However MOS:LORD is not very clear (at least to me) regarding whether we should be saying Bernard Morrow or Lord Morrow. As I see it, Lord Morrow is used 39,000 times on Google compared to only 16,000 times for Bernard Morrow (and 7,000 for The Lord Morrow), which is why I have left it as Lord Morrow. But such Google numbers are rarely accepted as authoritative in Wikipedia, and it could be argued that Lord Morrow may give some readers the misleading impression that he got the job by virtue of being in the House of Lords (as would be the case if he was a Minister in the UK Government, as is sometimes the case with junior Ministers to the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, such as Lord Gowrie)) whereas he actually got the job by virtue of being Bernard Morrow, MLA. A compromise such as "Bernard Morrow, MLA (Lord Morrow)" may seem too verbose. Has anybody got any ideas on which form is best ? Tlhslobus (talk) 19:52, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
