From the Daily Telegraph 9th February 2017 DEATHS       AUSTIN - Anthony Leonard, 6th Baronet, died on February 2nd aged 86.  Husband of Aileen, father of the late Caroline, Peter, Nicholas and Rebecca.  Affectionate grandfather to Alice, Richard, Georgina, Jennifer, Julia, Charlotte and Jack.  Funeral at Morwenstow Parish Church Ex23 9SR on Thursday February 16th at 2 pm.

He was 6th Baronet of Red Hill Castleford West Riding Yorkshire (cr 1894 UK).  He is succeeded by his elder son Peter John Austin b 1958 m 1988 Jane Clare Dracup but according to latest Debrets without issue.  I was going to say the only heir is his younger brother Nicholas Michael James Austin b 1960 (according to latest Debretts without male issue) but the grandson Jack in the death notice (not mentioned in latest Debretts) maybe a son of either Peter or Nicholas in which case the baronetcy may not be heading for extinction after all.

The 7th Baronet is now listed as the holder of the baronetcy on the Official Roll of the Baronetage

Has the latest DB got an answer about who this grandson Jack is?

Some checking of social media gives me confidence in stating that Jack is the son of Rebecca (who m 2ndly 2004 to Robert W JORDAN), so not in remainder to the baronetcy. Extinction seems relatively certain.
