Sir Peter was the son of Sir Herbert Dudley BURBIDGE, 5th Baronet (1904 - 2001) and Ruby Bly TAYLOR. He married Peggy Marilyn ANDERSON (c 1947 - 2018) in 1967 and with her had a son and a dau as in the notices.

He is succeeded in the baronetcy by his only son (Sir) John Peter BURBIDGE (7th Baronet) (born 1975). He married Jackie DAVIES in 2000.

Debrett's 2003, nor thepeerage.com, does not give any grandchildren, nor any further heirs. Kershaw lists the title as "A 1975", indicating that no further heirs are known.

Nonetheless, checking of social media identifies that Ryan is the son of Kathy & Vic PANTALEO. I am relatively sure that Amber is also their daughter.  This leaves Leah, Tori and Cole. I believe these are John's children. If correct, then Cole would be the new heir to the title.

In the last editions, John Peter is the new Baronet, though his birth is only noted as 1977.

Malta: not sure what you're referring to as last editions. Debrett 2019 doesn't show John Peter as the present Bt, although it does give his exact date of birth as 1 April 1975

[Richard R]

25 January fell on a Saturday in 2020, which presumably confirms the death date as this year?

Thank you. I didn't purchase Debrett's last edition.

But the death notice is 11 January - I suppose the death could have taken place at the end of 2019...

[Richard R]

You're right! I hadn't thought of that...

The latest Kershaw baronetcy analysis lists Cole (born "after 2000") as the heir (son of the present Baronet) 

[Henry W]

I believe Cole was probably born 2005.

There is a Cole Burbidge resident in Nova Scotia (correct area for the family) who was born that year. No guarantee this is the correct person, or simply coincidence, though the name is probably sufficiently uncommon that this will be correct.  Careful google searching will even find an exact date of birth for this person, but I decline to post it as (a) no guarantee this is the person of interest, (b) he is entitled to privacy of this information, particularly as a minor.

DPB online has been updated to refer to Cole's birth "c2006"

Big thank you. Henry W.

Henry, is the Nova Scotian Cole Burbidge you identified above the ice hockey player (now an adult) born 26 August 2005 in Falmouth, Nova Scotia?  If so the profile (link below) about his family states his sister is Maggy and his father Jeff so I don't think he is the heir apparent, just a coincidence.

Cole Burbidge - Stats & Facts - Elite Prospects

[Henry W]

Colin - Yes it was, so that person is now discounted, though there is presumably another Cole out there somewhere.  Of course this means YoB uncertain - Debrett's still has circa 2006 as his YoB.

[Henry W]

So I went back and did the social media research again.  I had it wrong, and I think Debrett's online has it wrong too.

(Debrett's currently lists John, presumed 7th Bt, as m 2000, with daus born 2002 / 2004, & son b 2006)

According to social media John married Jackie on 17 July 2007.  However, the Debrett's 2000 m date was listed in the 2003 print edition, so they clearly got that from somewhere.

I found a family photo posted 2017 which seems to be contemporaneous with that date  based on the comments - I would estimate that John's two daus are both under 10, and son probably under 5 in the photo.
