Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the co-ordinates given above, but they weren't chosen totally at random.


This is the first in a series of puzzles concerning people who have lived in Staffordshire. You are looking for somebody who I shall call X.

X was born in Staffordshire into a poor family. Despite only spending a short time at school X became a politician, but ended up something of a class traitor.

A = the number of letters removed from X's name for religious reasons
B = the number of children that X had
CDEF = the year X appeared on a stamp
GH-JK-LMNP = the date (in the form dd-mm-yyyy) that X was appointed to the Privy Council

The cache is hidden at:

Please don't give any spoilers in your log.

This cache was inspired by the "Residents" series of other counties - for example Surrey, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. I'm setting this puzzle to extend it to Staffordshire. Please feel free to continue the series with a Staffordshire Resident of your own.
