The peerage just about goes on, as I believe that the new baron has no
heirs. I had for a long time thought that this one was going to
extinct until standing in the queue for Wimbledon in the summer of 95,
when I read of the brith of a son and heir.

According to Debrett's 2008, William was the only male in succession
so unless he produces a male or two, this peerage is finished after
him.

I couldn't help but notice how many females there are in this family.
Besides the new baron's sister, DeBrett's shows: 3 sisters of the late
11th Baron, his two half-sisters and 7 living daughters of the 9th
Baron.

Yes I was going to comment on that, apart for the Earl Howe I think
that they have the most females that bear courtsey titles. It is a
surprise that the peerage is still extant with some many females being
born, one can only hope that the new baron will produce lots of male
heirs in the same quantity that females have been produced.

Is the new 14 year old Baron now the youngest peer?

I think he may well be. Viscount Selby is just a bouple of years his
senior.

Isn't this a bit too much to demand of a fourteen-year-old?

[marquess]

Not really it is just stating that there are no other heirs, just as
in the Shaftesbury and Craven case. I sure he will pull his finger out
when the time comes. Providing he does produce all girls, as is the
propensity of the male members of the family.

From the House of Lords Minutes of Proceedings 24 May 2024:-

Barony of Hawke in the Peerage of Great Britain The Lord Chancellor reported that William Martin Theodore Hawke had established his claim to the Barony of Hawke in the Peerage of Great Britain. The Clerk of the Parliaments was accordingly directed to enter Lord Hawke on the register of hereditary peers maintained under Standing Order 9(4).
