Excellent that they have a son, I hope that the brothers of the new
baron will be raised to the rank of a baron's son, as it makes the
Debretts entry look so much tidier.

Alexander Matthew Seddon Cripps died on 20 Feb 1973 and, of course,
his brother is the heir apparent of the new peer (not presumptive).
The new peer was the presumptive heir of the late 4th Baron. The new
ha was born on 6 October 2004. The 5th Baron's two brothers (Jeremy
George Anthony & Richard James Nigel) have fathered 5 sons between
them.
I see also that Who's Who list Judge Cripps' wife as a Millward
Shennan, so maybe Debrett's is correct in what they have.

CORRECTION
I meant the ha's son was born on 6 Oct 04

Milo Cripps, the fourth Lord Parmoor, had a precocious academic genius
that lacked a comfortable outlet until he was drawn, by chance, into
taking over the management of the long-established antiquarian
booksellers and publishers Bernard Quaritch in 1972. Under his hand
the company grew, adapting itself to a changing market, and it remains
one of the leading firms in the trade.

After a series of false starts, Milo Cripps gained considerable
success as an investment banker and went on to clinch a number of
famous deals as an antiquarian bookseller. Frederick Alfred Milo
Cripps was born in 1929. His father, Colonel Frederick Cripps, the
second son of the first Baron Parmoor, had been wounded at Gallipoli.
The Labour politician and Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir Stafford
Cripps was his uncle. His mother, Violet Nelson, was the daughter of
Sir William Nelson, of the Nelson shipping line; she married Colonel
Frederick in 1927 after her divorce from the second Duke of
Westminster. She was a fine horsewoman; horses and hunting were her
life. As a sensitive 17-year-old, Milo accompanied her and the Aga
Khan to a nightclub. There they packed him off to dance with the Aga
Khan’s wife, Rita Hayworth. While they talked about horses, Milo
harangued Hayworth about existentialism; her answer was an oft-
repeated “Huh?”
