Michael, you are correct-- per Debrett's 2008, Sir Arthur succeeds
as the 14 th Baronet. However, since he only has (2) daughters, the
heir presumptive is his younger brother Thomas Sherlock Heywood Gooch,
b. 1943. He has an unmarried son, Robert Brian Sherlock, b. 1976.

The new baronet's brother-in-law is Sir Anthony Quilter, 4th Bt.
