Christopher Barlow Obituary (1929 - 2022) - Hamilton, ON - The Hamilton Spectator (legacy.com)

CHRISTOPHER BARLOW OBITUARY

Passed peacefully on November 22, 2022, at the Juravinski Hospital following a cancer recurrence. Christopher was born in England on December 1, 1929, to Wing Commander Sir Richard Barlow and Rosamund Anderton. In 1946, just prior to his graduation from Eton College, Christopher lost his father in an airplane crash in Ecuador. Upon his father's death he became the 7th Baronet of Fort William, Bengal. At age 17 he enrolled at McGill University where he completed an engineering degree specializing in architecture while working summers in forestry and on Great Lakes steamers. He met and married Jacqueline Audley in Montreal in 1952. Three children followed in 1953, 1958 and 1960. A burgeoning career as an architect lead to a move to Newfoundland in 1966 where he was the lead designer of many public projects including hospitals, trade schools, airports, and university buildings. He had a great love of sailing and enjoyed many adventures while crewing with friends. He also loved travelling and walking. His wife Jacqueline died in 2002. In 2003 he married Jeane Gage to whom he was devoted. Christopher and Jeane enjoyed 18 happy years together until her death on November 21, 2021. Christopher possessed a lively and keen intelligence and a quick wit. He kept himself well informed to the end. Christopher was an avid gardener and the family look forward to seeing the blooms of the 110 daffodils bulbs he planted just before he died. Christopher leaves his children Persephone (Robert), Crispian (Christi) and Caroline (James), his granddaughters Muffy (Neil), Sophie (Matthew), and Jennifer (Darryl), his great-grandson Albert, his brother Anthony, his sister Lucinda and his stepchildren George, Brian, and Margaret Gage. He was looking forward to welcoming a second great-grandchild due later this month. He was predeceased by his brother David. A private memorial service will be convened at a later date when the family can congregate.

Next up,, after Peter BARLOW, would be his uncle (brother of the later Sir Christopher and the late David), Richard Owen BARLOW (b. 1963).  His son, Alexander Hudson, b. 1996 would follow.

David Barlow's obituary mentions two sons:  Richard and Peter (in this order).
I wonder if the hp is Richard?

David P. BARLOW

January 08, 1931 - October 17, 2018

Born Winchester, England 08 January 1931. Died peacefully at home 17 October 2018 in Victoria BC, surrounded by his family. Survived by his beloved wife of 60 years, Mary (nee Emmerton); children Richard (Karen), Rosemary (Christopher) and Peter (Janeth); brothers Christopher and Anthony; sister Lucinda (Chubb); grandchildren Alex, Frances (Du Plessis) and Rosamund; and great grandson Charles. A resident of Victoria since 1956, David was educated at Eton and served with the Gloucesters prior to coming to Canada. He worked initially as a surveyor for Shell and other oil companies in Northern Alberta; from 1958 onwards, he served as a civil engineer for the CPR, Ministry of Public Works and latterly the Ministry of the Environment until retirement in 1996. He enjoyed hiking, sailing, music, carpentry and gardening; his retirement included a spell as a SALTS volunteer and during the last 15 years he was a familiar sight on Dallas Road, training for annual 10 km walking races, which he kept up until his last race in April this year. A long-time parishioner at Christ Church Cathedral, David was a warden there in the 1980s, a director of Cathedral Buildings for 37 years and had the honour of being the first recipient of the Order of the Diocese of British Columbia. He and Mary ran a well-known Saturday morning charity breakfast for 20 years, first at the Cathedral then from 2007 to 2015 at St Andrew's Presbyterian Church.

Ok, I was wrong about Richard.

The line of succession to the baronetcy is as follows:
1. Peter Stephen BARLOW b 1961 ( the late Baronet's nephew, son of David Peter BARLOW 1931-2018) 
2. Richard Owen Barlow b 1963 (brother of 1)
3. Alexander Hudson Barlow b 1996 (son of 2)
4. Anthony Donald Barlow b 1935 ( the late Baronet's youngest brother)
5. Nicholas Hugh Barlow b 1973 (son of 4)
6. Oliver Henry Mansfield b 2002 (1st son of 5)
7. Jack Teodore George b 2004 (2nd son of 5)

Apologies for my error.  Richard is Peter's younger brother, not his uncle.

gorgo, thanks for your  list.  It is actually everyone who is in remainder to this baronetcy.

My available sources don't show the marriage for Nicholas Hugh Barlow, b. 1973, name and date?
And, is his younger son Teodore or Theodore?
