LEES, Sir William Antony Clare, 3rd Baronet (1935-2018) TITLE EXTINCT

[colinp]

Today the Official Roll of the Baronetage shows the baronetcy Lees of Longdendale as being EXTINCT.

It seems that the 3rd Baronet died on 21 December 2018 (probate granted 3 June 2020)  - it would be good to find a death notice but it seems most unlikely there would be two persons of the same name

He was the son of Sir William Hereward Lees, 2nd Baronet (1904-1976) and (m 1930) Dorothy Gertrude LAUDER (d 1996).  He m 1986 Joanna Olive CRANE.  No issue

I'm not sure when they updated this page,  but DPB Online has this baronetcy's extinction.

By way of some verification:

There is a GRO death record for a William Antony LEES, d Q4 2018 East Sussex, YoB 1935.  I think this is probably conclusive.  The location may be helpful in trying to find a notice, as I believe Debrett's did not record a residence for him.
