Charles Aylmer (Tommy) Eade died at home on 27 August, aged 90, husband of Jill, father of Fiona, Belinda, Philip and Jo, and brother of Di and Caroline.

In a recent Burke's he is listed as joint owner, with a cousin, of Walworth Castle. His ancestor, Arthur Aylmer (1772-1831), of the Baronets, had married Anne Harrison, heiress of Walworth Castle.

In Debrett's 2019 (his dau Fiona having married into the McAlpine Baronets)  he is described as being of Uppington House, Telford, Salop

[Henry W]

He married (Helen) Jillian WHITEFOORD (born 1931), scion of the Baronets of that name (cr 1701 Nova Scotia) (descended from the 1st Baronet). Her father may have been the de jure Baronet.

The Whitefoord baronetcy is listed as dormant in 1803, which caused me to look into it as she was clearly the dau of a male line dynast.

From what I can work out from thepeerage.com and Burke's Landed Gentry 1952 (see WHITEFOORD formerly of Blairquhan), the succession after the 3rd Baronet should probably have been:

Sir Caleb Charles WHITEFOORD, 4th Baronet (1734 - 1810), a grandson of the 1st Baronet and cousin of the 3rd Baronet.

either

Sir Malcolm WHITEFOORD, 5th Baronet (1803 - ?), ?eldest son of the 4th Bt - is it possible that nothing is known of his fate, and this is part of the persistence of the dormancy? This person was not listed in BLG and only on thepeerage.com. 

or

Rev Sir Caleb WHITEFOORD, 5th Baronet (1805 - 1890), ?second son of the 4th Bt (given as the only son in BLG)

Sir Samuel Charles WHITEFOORD, 6th Baronet (1845 - 1917), 2nd but eldest surviving son of the 5th Bt

Sir Caleb Alan Bryce WHITEFOORD, 7th Baronet (1881 - 1941), eldest son of 6th Bt.

Sir Philip Geoffrey WHITEFOORD, 8th Baronet (1894 - 1975), eldest son of Rev Philip WHITEFOORD (1850-1935), 5th son of the 5th Bt.  He was father to Jillian, the husband of the deceased. According to BLG, he unsuccessfully tried to claim the baronetcy in 1941.

Sir Hugh Penry WHITEFOORD, 9th Baronet (1901 - 1991), brother of the 8th Bt.

Sir (Neil Steuart) Patrick WHITEFOORD, 10th Baronet (1915 - 1992), a descendant of the 4th Bt.

Sir (Neil) Esmond Anthony WHITEFOORD, 11th Baronet (1940 - 1999), nephew of the 10th Bt

Sir Adam John Anthony WHITEFOORD, 12th Baronet (born 1945), brother of the 11th Bt.

According to my own research he m 1977, and has a son born 1979, who is m. with 2 daus (b 2007/2009)

There has at least been an attempt to claim the title, but unsuccessful. It would be interesting to know what the stumbling block was/is.

On the death of the 3rd Baronet in 1803 the possible next heir was "probably illegitimate".

sorry if this double-posts. I thought I posted it already but it is not appearing.

and the remainder being to "heirs male forever" there are without doubt rightful heirs in existence, but assuming that Caleb was illegitimate there is likely no way to identify who they are.

EXTRACTS

  Tommy Eade, devoted countryman, land agent and president of the Royal Forestry Society – obituary

Benign agent and overseer of Lord Barnard's large Shropshire estate

Tommy Eade, who has died aged 90, was agent to Lord Barnard’s Shropshire estate from 1964 until 1995, and later forestry adviser both there and on the extensive Raby estates in Co Durham.

A true countryman and esteemed tree man (he was president of the Royal Forestry Society from 1999 to 2001), he was perfectly suited to the role of resident agent in the less regulated days when large estates could more easily afford to look after the local community and countryside......

Charles Aylmer Eade, called Tommy as a baby by his mother, was born on September 2 1929 at Weeton, near Leeds. His father had given up the Bar to train as a land agent on the expectation (only partially met) that he would inherit the nearby Seacroft estate from his bachelor uncle Darcy Wilson.

His apprenticeship included a spell as Raby’s under-agent in Shropshire, living next to the vicarage at Wroxeter, where he soon fell for the vicar’s daughter, who was just 18 when they married and 20 when Tommy was born.

Tommy’s father was by then in his late thirties – and having won an MC as a dispatch rider on the Western Front, where his younger brother died at Ypres, he may have seemed even older. Tommy’s mother bolted when he was two or three, and did not reappear in his life for more than a decade.

Until moving to Uppington aged 14 after his father remarried, Tommy grew up at Astley, a handsome Greek Revival house just north of Shrewsbury, where he was devotedly looked after by “Nan” Shenton.................

He and his wife Jill (née Whitefoord), whom he married in 1960, were enthusiastic hosts and needed little excuse to call the marquee man and throw a party.

Jill survives him with their three daughters and a son.

Tommy Eade, born September 2 1929, died August 27 2020
