All peers and baronets should be as productive as the late baronet-- 5
sons including the new baronet, Sir Andrew.

Ironically, 4 of the 5 sons each has only 1 son (in addition to some
of them who also have daughters). One son remains unmarried.

Nice little obit in The Times

EXTRACT & LINK:
.... Henry Lawson-Tancred was born in Harrogate in 1924. He served in
the RAF’s Bomber Command at the end of the war, flying several
missions in Lancasters over occupied Europe and Germany. After his
older brother, Andrew, was shot down and killed in 1944, Henry
inherited the LawsonTancred baronetcy. On leaving the RAF at the end
of the war, he served as a transport pilot in India in the run-up to
partition in 1947. He then read engineering at Cambridge before
returning to the family estate. He invented a device known as a
Carstack, a curious-looking structure that stored cars in containers
as a means of saving space in busy urban centres. He sold the design
to the engineering company Inchcape, which used the technology in its
container storage division.
Throughout his life he remained a keen engineer and was seldom without
his tools. In a famous incident in 1983, he was able to lend an
adjustable spanner to the captain of a Hovercraft on which he was
travelling so that he and other passengers could escape the prospect
of being stranded in the Channel.
His first wife died in 1970. He is survived by his second wife, Susan,
and by six children and two step-daughters.
