Peerage & Baronetage deaths, 2020

[Henry W]

This follows: Peerage & Baronetage deaths, 2019 and Peerage and Baronetage deaths 2018. Corrections and updates are very gratefully received. I'm almost certain I've missed the deaths of some heirs in this listing. And yes, I know I am tempting providence, but I like to begin to put this list together before the new year. A few dates are marked with ? as coming from secondary sources (i.e. from our personal correspondence, rather than the public records or a newspaper notice). Lord Garel-Jones had two different death dates published (23/24 March) - I have gone with 24 March on the basis that I give more credence to the House of Lords and a family notice in the Times than one newspaper obit. Inevitably further deaths will emerge in the final days of 2020 and in the new year.

Burbidge baronets could be on this list, however, work indicates a son of the new baronet, born 2005.

Brooke requested in another thread to keep track of important births for titles. I do not currently have such a list, but I did track any titles LEAVING the NO HEIRS list due to a birth. I may look back and try to compile a list of the important births at some point.

TITLES REMOVED FROM NO HEIRS LIST

Ropner baronets (1952) - the current baronet had a son, born 7 Jan.

Henry W,  thanks so much for this list.  I'll check it with what I have, to see if I'm missing anyone.

Re: important births, here's what I have, but only for the peerage:

George Henry Charles Petty-Fitzmaurice (b. Feb 3), styled Viscount Calne and Calstone, born to the Earl and Countess of Kerry, (s & ha of the Marquess of Lansdowne)

Charles Victor Swinton Campbell (b. Mar 26), born to the Hon. Thomas Campbell and his wife, (s. & ha of 4th Baron Colgrain)

Charles Lars John Bingham (b. May?), styled Lord Bingham, born to the 8th Earl and Countess of Lucan  (The baby becomes the heir apparent)

Charlie Thomas Crowhurst (b. Aug?), styled Viscount Crowhurst, born to the 9th Earl and Countess of Cottenham (The baby becomes the heir apparent.)

Caspian Fitzwalter (b. Oct 6), born to the 30th Lord and Lady Dunboyne (The baby becomes the heir apparent.)

If there's anyone missing, please post.  Also, please post important births for the baronetage.

Thanks.

Brooke

As we approach the end of 2021 I am preparing my list of Peerage & Baronetage Deaths (more on that in a minute).  I also post an update on the deaths of 2020 that have come to light since my post in December 2020:

No further deaths amongst the peers or baronets are noted, but two further deaths amongst the heirs are noted:

Robert John Dendy BROADBENT (14 Oct 2020) - hp to the Broadbent baronetcy
The Hon. Peter Richard SCARLETT (24 Dec 2020) - hp to Baron Abinger

In addition to these deaths I also note a couple of births late in 2020:

Baron ELLENBOROUGH - Edward Thomas Carmichael LAW (born 30 Dec 2020) - ha's ha
BUNBURY baronets - Magnus Theodore (born 31 Dec 2020) - now 3rd heir - first son of second son of the current baronet. Eldest son has no children yet, but recently engaged.

I have tried for 2020 to keep a track of any "significant" births to any title.  Some of this a judgement, but as you can see for the new BUNBURY heir above I am not limiting the list to the direct line, but recording those who have a prospective chance of one day succeeding as things appear at the time.  I have found tracking this list trickier.

Henry, looking forward to seeing your list.

Thanks for that and all the work that you do during the year.
