thanks to all who answered just Q4 to get now

also was it archibald primrose who was mentioned in the song "burlington bertie from bow"?

4 Probably Walpole as he was the first PM in 1721 (18th century) but maybe he was in the House of Commons for some reason 22 years plus earlier

Was it Lord Rosebury who was mentioned in Burlington Bertie?

"Nearly everyone knows me from Smith to Lord Rosebury 

I'm Burlington Bertie from Bow..."

I don't know who 4 can be. The role was only known as Prime Minister from some time in Walpole's era. Maybe as a child or student he sat in there one day watching his dad (also  called Robeert Walpole) who was an mP in the late 17th century.

I cannot find the answer to Q4 either. Are these questionas from Derek's Easy-Peasy Fund -Raising Quiz ? Closing date 14th October 2024. Also your questions on Poetry/Songs/ Dingbats.
