The point of glosses (extra info in parentheses) in page names is to differentiate subjects with the same base name, not to describe them. Having the term "Royal Naval officer" in the title of this page in no way distinguishes it from the only other James Richard Dacres, since he was also a Royal Naval officer. From WP:PRECISION: Usually, titles should be precise enough to unambiguously define the topical scope of the article, but no more precise than that.

If no one objects, I'll move the page soon. --A D Monroe III^(talk) 15:07, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --A D Monroe III^(talk) 15:51, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For the equivalent move for this subject's father, see Talk:James Richard Dacres (Royal Navy officer, born 1749)#Move to James Richard Dacres (1749–1810). --A D Monroe III^(talk) 16:11, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
