Sir Charles Edward Watkin WILLIAMS-WYNN has now been entered on the Official Roll of the baronetage as the 12th Baronet Williams-Wynn of Gray's Inn

[colinp]

Although Burke's gives the DOB of the 12th Baronet as 16 Sept 1970, Who's Who 2025 says 17 Sept 1970

[bx...@yahoo.com]

DPB's last print  edition just says "1970".
