Lord Aberdare, 4th of that Barony, is present in TheyWorkForYou. He died in 2005, and his son, the 5th Baron Aberdare, was by-elected to the House of Lords recently. /peer/lord_aberdare only gives you the 5th Baron, with no way of viewing the 4th any more.

Viscount Colville of Culross is another that this applies to.

I expected the same to be true of the two Rowland Blennerhassets, who were both MP for Kerry at the same time (!):

However that actually has a different symptom - if you click on the search results for either, you get:

... and the message "That name is not unique"
