Peerage & Baronetage deaths & births, 2021

[Henry W]

This follows: Peerage & Baronetage deaths, 2020. 

Corrections and updates are very gratefully received. Inevitably a few more deaths will come to light during the last few days of the year and into the new year.  I will continue to maintain a 2021 file and post an update in December 2022. The only date of deaths not definitely known are that of Lord Mowbray, Segrave & Stourton, though it was probably one of 28/29/30 January, and of Hon William NAPIER, either 27 or 28 August. 

For the first time I have included "senior" births to any title, and deaths of centenarians who were (or were in historical copies, but subsequently deleted) listed in Debrett's. References to [A 1967] etc are according to the Kershaw list conventions of annotating titles with few young heirs.

Henry, many thanks for a job well done!

I will go through my list and see if I have any thing to add, but at first glance, you seem to have done quite a thorough job.

Beaufort ... grandson Henry,Earl of Glamorgan b 28 may 2021.

[Henry W]

Thanks pyvery - I should acknowledge took part in that discussion. Eeek!

Also, in another thread Duke of Earl spotted an omission amongst the Centenarians:

(Ann) Fortune FITZROY, Duchess of GRAFTON (nee SMITH) born 24 February 2020, wife of the 11th Duke of GRAFTON, died 3 December 2021

[Henry W]

Under titles with no heirs I should also have included:

PRESTON baronets [B* 1990] - the death notice for the 8th Bt referred to grandchildren.  None of these grandchildren are known to the Debrett's database, so there may be an heir if one is a son of Sir (Philip) Thomas PRESTON, 9th Bt.
