I have been looking through my Debretts 2011 and apart from the new heir, there are no male heirs to this title born after 72, there is one male born in 63 called Merlin who has a daughter born in 2007. Does anyone have any more up to date information?

What are the limitations to heirs here ? Males to Males or males, then female ? I am sure a title of this age, there are many heirs in the distance.
