correct Michael, there is a brother, b 1960 who has two daus. The new
peer's eldest son is b 1984 and the youngest in 97, there is also a
daugher by 90 I think, according to my outdated Debretts 2000. I
wonder if Neptune House is still in the family, is there a decent
sized estate?

The 5th Baron indeed has 3 sons and one daughter. His brother Richard
has 2 sons and 4 daughters. (Burke's)

The future of the Borwick barony appears secure for the foreseeable
future. The new Baron's 3 sons were born in 1984, 1987 and 1997 while
his brother's 2 sons were born in 1985 and 1992.

All peerages should have such a wealth of "potential" barons!
