Henry, thanks again for another outstanding effort.

I don't know if you want to include this passing, but I will submit it anyway, as he was the heir to an heir preumptive:

James William Lancelot LOWTHER (b. 2000), on January 11th, 2022.

He was the eldest son of the Hon James Nicholas LOWTHER, half brother and  heir presumptive  to the 9th Earl of Lonsdale.

You're welcome.

Henry, considering all of the heavy lifting you did on this, omitting only one name was quite a remarkable job!

We don't have a definite DOD for the 3rd Baron Hemingford, but he may need to be added here, depending on that date.

I have now done the update -  Peerage & Baronetage deaths & births (Google Docs)

I have included the death of 3rd Baron HEMINGFORD - I think the evidence suggests he did die in late December.
I have also included the birth of Hon Otis HAZLERIGG which has come to light yesterday.
