A few points to note:

Corrections

Ingilby (1866) should be no designation as Ralph b 2023 to 2nd son Joslan

Norton-Griffiths (1922) should be B 2014

Salt (1869) present baronet is widowed

Change of Status

De Hoghton (1611) is now B c2023 (from A 1980) following birth of a son to the ha (although DBP hasn’t yet recorded the ha’s marriage and issue)

Knowles (1765) now B 2019 (was B 1989) following birth of a son to the ha

Loss of B status  

Brooke (1919) following the birth of nephew Bertie in 2025 (was B 1992)

Dixon (Lord Glentoran) following birth of great-grandson in 2023 (was B 1999)

Kinloch (1686) following DPB online update to show ha’s son Arthur b 2020 (was B 1996)

North (1920) there are three grandsons b 2022 (x2) and 2025 (was B 2022)

Other points

Seton (1663) – new Bt is married (2022) according to DPB online

Napier of Merchistoun (NS 1627) - this baronetcy has a A designation (to formancy) but DPB now shows a kinsman John Stirling Napier (1935-2009) as having married with two s and a d so there may be hope for this baronetcy.  The present baronet and presumably also his apparently unmarried only son live in South Africa so Debrett's may have lost touch with them or they are not interested in the title and keeping the DPB database up to date.

CHAYTOR baronets (cr 1831)

This title is listed as A 1976

I have been looking into it as it qualifies for my listing in 2026

The 9th Baronet was born 1949

His son & ha, John, was born 1973

His two brothers follow: Kenneth (b 1952), m twice with 3 daus; Robert (b 1958), shown as unm

Then come various collaterals descended from the 1st Bt, born respectively 1967, 1976, 1939

The senior collateral is Clervaux James Chaytor.  I took a punt that he goes by his middle name, and found a James Chaytor in facebook, with Kate Chaytor-Norris as a connection (his sister is Kathleen CHAYTOR-NORRIS).  It appears James is resident in Peru, and ?m (date unknown) Nikole HIDALGO (she has taken his name), and with her had issue: a son William (born 2003 - 2007).  This gives hope for this title, though we need to more clearly establish the facts here.

And I should have just looked at thepeerage from the start!

Clervaux James Chaytor (b 1967) m 2005 Veronika Nikole HIDALGO ROLANDO, and with her has issue: William Roland CHAYTOR, b 2008.

The title should be listed as B 2008
