[marquess]

Is there anyone under the age of 30 in remainder to this barony?

[Richard R]

Not quite under 30 but Charles William Alexander SPENCER (b 1990 reg Q1 London) m 2017 Adelle Francesca WEBB, no issue listed so far. gs of Capt John Lawrence SPENCER DSO MC (1917-67) 2xgt gs of 1st Baron CHURCHILL

[David Gabriel]

On wikipedia heir is nephew of 7th Baron. That would mean that David Anthony has a son but has died.

The Debrett's database is still showing David (listed as unmarried and childless) as hp.

I note the diagram shown on the Wikipedia page is incorrect.  Thomas, on that diagram, appears to be the brother of the 7th Baron, instead of the nephew.

Debrett's database is still showing David as the heir.

Is there any confirmation to the Wikipedia page, which shows his son as the new hp?

Thanks.

[bx...@yahoo.com]

The Wikipedia page has reverted to showing the Hon. David, brother of the present Baron, as the hp.

thepeerage.com has an update on Hon. David, bro & hp of the present Baron:

https://www.thepeerage.com/p10795.htm#i107943

He has two sons, born 2006 & 2007, the eldest of whom is previously referenced here and on Wikipedia.  The source is an email of 30 July 2023.  No marriage for Hon David is given.

Nothing on Debrett's database reflects these details.

Thanks for the information, Henry.

This appears to be good news.  

However, is there a way to confirm these 2 sons are actually in remainder to the barony (as there is no information on their mother and an actual marriage)?

Thanks.
