HAWKINS, Sir Richard Caesar, 9th Baronet (1958-2026)

[colinp]

He died on 23 February 2026 presumably in South Africa - see this facebook post by his sister Kassey [Kathryn Ann] Belluigi with details of a memorial service -  (5) Facebook

He was the son of Sir Humphrey Caesar Hawkins, 7th Baronet (1923-1993) and (m 1952) Anita FUNKEY.  He succeeded his brother Sir Howard Caesar Hawkins, the 8th Baronet in 1999.  He m 1992 Ernestine EHRENSPERGER and had a son who succeeds him (assuming he was born before his parents' marriage as DPB indicates):-

Sir Jonathan Caesar Hawkins, 10th Baronet, subject to proving his claim and being entered on the official Roll of the Baronetage, b 23 June 1992 apparently unm

If Sir Jonathan were to die without legitimate male issue it appears the baronetcy would become dormant

Excellent work, Colin - many thanks. Please could I ask which line(s) of the family are not yet fully accounted for if the title would become dormant rather than extinct in the scenario you outline above?

Hi Tim.

In looking at the last print edition of DPB, it leaves room for the possibility of the existence  first, of decendants of 4 sons of the late Arthur Caesar HAWKINS of South Africa,  7th son of the 3rd Baronet.  The 4 sons were born  between 1857 and 1875

It also leaves the door open for the possibility of descendants of other  male family members after them.

Without knowing for sure whether there is anyone else in the line of succession, my guess is that's why the baronetcy would become dormant instead of just extinct.

I looked through the entry on Burke's 107th edn, it is true, there might be heirs male from those lines, we just don't know for sure.

CORRECTION: the words in brackets in the second para of my post should read " (assuming he was born after his parents' marriage as DPB indicates)"

I have added the Hawkins baronetcy to my list of titles to become dormant on the death of the current baronet
