| The special remainder to the baronetcy of Tollemache created in 1793 | ||||||
| From the "London Gazette" of 1 January 1793 (issue 13490, page 12):- | ||||||
| 'The King has been pleased to grant the Dignity of a Baronet of the Kingdom of Great Britain to | ||||||
| William Manners, of Hanby Hall in the County of Lincoln, Esq; and the Heirs Male of his Body | ||||||
| lawfully begotten, with Remainder to his Brothers John and Charles Manners, Esquires, and the | ||||||
| Heirs Male of their Bodies lawfully begotten.' | ||||||
| The siblings of Sir Lyonel Felix Carteret Eugene Tollemache, 4th baronet | ||||||
| The first Tollemache baronet of Hanby Hall had a 4th son, the Rev. Hugh Francis Tollemache. He | ||||||
| in turn had a son, the Rev. Ralph William Lyonel Tollemache-Tollemache (19 October 1826-5 | ||||||
| October 1895). The Rev. Ralph married twice; firstly on 15 February 1853 to his cousin, Caroline | ||||||
| Talmash who died 6 June 1867, and, secondly, on 22 February 1869, to Dora Cleopatra Maria | ||||||
| Lorenza de Orellana y Revest. The two marriages produced 14 children, many of whom were | ||||||
| inflicted with eccentric names, seemingly based on variations of the name "Lyonel," as follows:- | ||||||
| The sons of the two marriages were - | ||||||
| 1. Lyonel Felix Carteret Eugene (he later succeeded as the 4th baronet) | ||||||
| 2. Granville Gray Marchmont Manners Plantagenet (1858-1891) | ||||||
| 3. Marchmont Murray Grasett Reginald Stanhope Plantagenet (1860-1898) | ||||||
| 4. The names of this son will be discussed later | ||||||
| 5. Leo de Orellana (1879-1914) | ||||||
| 6. Leone Sextus (presumably because he was the 6th son) (1884-1917) | ||||||
| 7. Lyonulph Cospatrick Bruce Berkeley Jermyn Tullibardine Petersham de Orellana Dysart | ||||||
| Plantaganet (1892-1960) | ||||||
| and the daughters - | ||||||
| 1. Florence Caroline Artemisia Hume (c late 1850s/early 1860s-1935) | ||||||
| 2. Dora Viola (d in infancy 1874) | ||||||
| 3. Mabel Helmingham (1872-1955) | ||||||
| 4. Lyonesse Matilda Dora (1874-1944) | ||||||
| 5. Lyona Decima Veronica (1878-1962) | ||||||
| 6. Lyonella Fredegunda (1882-1952) | ||||||
| 7. Lyonetta Edith Valentine 1887-1951) | ||||||
| The birth of the 4th son in 1876 afforded the opportunity for the Rev. Ralph to fully exercise his | ||||||
| imagination. This son was named Lyulph Ydwallo Odin Nestor Egbert Lyonel Toedmag Hugh | ||||||
| Erchenwyne Saxon Esa Cromwell Orma Nevill Dysart Plantagenet Tollemache-Tollemache. | ||||||
| The reader will note that the eldest son shown above was named Lyonel. If you now take the | ||||||
| first letter of each of the 4th son's names, and ignoring the last name of Plantagenet, you will | ||||||
| spell out "Lyonel the Second." | ||||||
| Sir Thomas Ernest Trollope, 11th baronet | ||||||
| Sir Thomas died in a motor accident in September 1927. The following report of the subsequent | ||||||
| inquest into his death appeared in "The Manchester Guardian" of 27 September 1927:- | ||||||
| 'A verdict of accidental death was returned yesterday at the inquest on Sir Thomas Ernest | ||||||
| Trollope, who died after a motor accident in Oxford Street. Sir Ernest died in Middlesex Hospital | ||||||
| last Friday. | ||||||
| 'A nephew, Thomas Arthur Walter Giffard, a secretary at the Anglo-German Tribunal, said Sir | ||||||
| Ernest was 59 [sic - 69] and a barrister by profession, but did not practice. He was a little hard | ||||||
| of hearing but not deaf. | ||||||
| 'A constable said the accident occurred close to a refuge to the west of New Bond street and | ||||||
| Vere street. | ||||||
| 'John Percy Sugden, of Brondesbury Park, Willesden, who stated that he was an old friend of | ||||||
| Sir Ernest, and lunched with him last Thursday, said Sir Ernest was healthy and active, so | ||||||
| active that he was hunting recently. After lunch they went to Bond Street by tube, and then | ||||||
| crossed Oxford Street as Sir Ernest was to see him off by 'bus. Near the refuge a motor came | ||||||
| along and knocked them both down. The witness had a narrow escape, and thought he caught | ||||||
| hold of the radiator of the motor to save himself. | ||||||
| 'The Coroner: Where were you lying when the motor stopped? - Under the front of it between | ||||||
| the wheels. Sir Ernest was lying on his back. He had been carried to the refuge. He was semi- | ||||||
| conscious. | ||||||
| 'Did you look well to your right when you stepped off the kerb? - I think so. We were walking | ||||||
| arm in arm. | ||||||
| 'Ernest Henry Knight, a motor-driver, said he was driving a van eastwards towards Regent | ||||||
| Street and had nearly reached Vere Street when Sir Ernest and Mr. Sugden stepped off the | ||||||
| refuge. | ||||||
| 'The Coroner: How far were you from them? - I should say about a yard. You had not noticed | ||||||
| them standing on the refuge? - No. What did you do when they stepped off? - I jammed on | ||||||
| my foot brake and hand brake and pulled up. | ||||||
| 'Knight said he was in low gear, travelling about six miles an hour. The van hit Mr. Sugden, who | ||||||
| was arm in arm with Sir Ernest. They both went down, and Sir Ernest hit his head on the | ||||||
| ground. The van did not run over either of them. | ||||||
| 'The jury returned a verdict of accidental death and exonerated the driver from blame.' | ||||||
| Sir Bruce Adolph Reginald Tuck, 3rd baronet [UK 1910] | ||||||
| The 1st baronet, Sir Adolph Tuck, was the second son of Raphael Tuck, who had migrated to | ||||||
| England from Prussia and who, in 1866, founded Raphael Tuck & Sons, which sold greeting | ||||||
| cards, and, more successfully, picture postcards. Adolph was chairman and managing director | ||||||
| of the company until his death in 1926, having been created a baronet in 1910. | ||||||
| His grandson Bruce, the 3rd baronet, married twice; firstly, in 1949, to Louise Renfro but this | ||||||
| ended in divorce in 1964; and secondly, in February 1968, to Pamela (Nicky) Nicholson. It was | ||||||
| this second marriage which led to the following article which appeared in the London "Daily | ||||||
| Telegraph" of 5 November 1975:- | ||||||
| 'A baronet must lose his entitlement to most of the income from the family trust fund, because | ||||||
| he married a non-Jewish woman, a High Court Judge ruled yesterday. Under the terms of the | ||||||
| trust, set up many years ago by Sir Adolph Tuck, the first baronet, his grandson, Sir Bruce | ||||||
| Adolph Reginald Tuck, had to marry an "approved wife." His second wife, Pamela Nicholson - | ||||||
| formerly Nicky Allen, a showgirl and beauty queen of Walthamstow - did not qualify, Mr. Justice | ||||||
| Whitford decided. Sir Bruce will now receive no more than £400 a year from the trust. In | ||||||
| September, 1970, his annuity was reported to be £3,000. | ||||||
| 'The first wife of Sir Bruce, who lives at Montego Bay, Jamaica, had been "approved." The | ||||||
| couple had two sons. The marriage was dissolved in 1964. Sir Bruce married his present wife, | ||||||
| now 35, in 1968. | ||||||
| 'Mr. Justice Whitford said that Sir Adolph Tuck, who founded the greeting card firm, had been | ||||||
| proud to be Jewish. He had considered that the baronetcy was conferred not only on himself | ||||||
| but on his race. In the trust settlements, he had tried to ensure that the dignity and honour of | ||||||
| the baronetcy should remain in the hands of Jewish successors born of Jewish parents, so long | ||||||
| as the law allowed this. | ||||||
| 'An "approved wife" under the settlement meant a wife of Jewish blood by one or both of her | ||||||
| parents, who had been brought up in and never departed from the Jewish faith. If there was | ||||||
| any doubt or dispute about an approved wife, the matter was to be decided by the Chief Rabbi | ||||||
| in London of either the Sephardim or Ashkenazim communities. | ||||||
| 'There was no doubt that Sir Bruce's second wife, a Roman Catholic, did not qualify, said the | ||||||
| judge. He had been asked by trustees to decide whether the conditions of the settlements | ||||||
| could be upheld or whether there was such uncertainty that they should be declared null. Sir | ||||||
| Adolph had clearly set out what his intentions were, and had provided a means to resolve | ||||||
| disputes which did not supplant the court's jurisdiction. The provisions he made were valid and | ||||||

| Sir George Tuite, 7th baronet | ||||||
| Sir George was murdered by two intruders in his house in February 1783. The following | ||||||
| newspaper reports are relevant:- | ||||||
| 'Whitehall Evening Post' of 8 March 1783:- | ||||||
| 'Dublin, 1 March. We hear from Westmeath that, last Saturday night some villains broke into | ||||||
| the house of Sir George Tuite, Bart., in that county, and fractured his skull with a hammer, and | ||||||
| he instantly expired.' [Other contemporary reports state that Sir George was shot through the | ||||||
| head]. | ||||||
| 'Whitehall Evening Post' of 15 March 1783, which seems to imply that Sir George was not a | ||||||
| model landlord:- | ||||||
| 'The week before last a murder of a very uncommon kind was perpetrated on the body of Sir | ||||||
| George Tuite, Bart. at his seat of Connan, in the county of Westmeath, in Ireland. As Sir | ||||||
| George was sitting at his parlour fire with a favourite dog at his feet, some men burst into | ||||||
| his room and murdered him; the dog making some noise, they killed him, and decamped | ||||||
| without plundering the house; so that it evidently appeared they had no purpose in view but | ||||||
| the murder of Sir George. What is singular, there was no noise made in the country, very | ||||||
| little lamentation, and less search. Though no man can approve of even justice executed so | ||||||
| summarily, yet such events ought to be a warning for rich men not to oppress their poor | ||||||
| tenants, nor act with tyranny in the district where they live.' | ||||||
| Sir Robert Fraser Turing, 8th baronet | ||||||
| By the early years of the 20th century, there were so many bogus baronets floating around | ||||||
| that moves were made to prevent the assumption of the title of 'baronet' by persons who | ||||||
| had no right to the title, and to safeguard the status of those who were entitled to the | ||||||
| title. After a lengthy enquiry into the matter by a Departmental Committee of the Home Office, | ||||||
| whose report was published as a Parliamentary Paper [Cd. 3445] in 1907, new regulations | ||||||
| were promulgated by a Royal Warrant dated 8 February 1910. | ||||||
| In essence, this Warrant established an official roll of baronets. Unless a baronet's name was | ||||||
| included on this roll, the person claiming the title of baronet was not considered to be a | ||||||
| baronet, and would not be treated as such. Where any difficulties arose as to the validity of | ||||||
| claims, the matter was to be referred to the Privy Council. | ||||||
| One of the earliest claims to be heard by the Privy Council was that of Sir Robert Fraser | ||||||
| Turing, who petitioned for inclusion on the official roll. His case was heard on 1 July 1912. | ||||||
| His case was that he was the head of the ancient family of Turing, and heir male of Sir John | ||||||
| Turing, who had been created a baronet in 1638. As was the case with many Scottish | ||||||
| baronetcies, the original patent was not now known to exist, and it not appear to have been | ||||||
| recorded in the public registers of the time. | ||||||
| In 1878, Sir Robert had sought advice on this matter, with the result that the then Lord | ||||||
| Advocate (William Watson) gave the opinion that "having examined the papers relative to the | ||||||
| Turing Baronetcy submitted to us on behalf of Sir Robert Turing, we are of opinion that the | ||||||
| evidence adduced is sufficient to establish the fact of the creation of the baronetcy and that | ||||||
| Sir Robert Turing has right to enjoy the title." | ||||||
| Sir Robert also applied to Lyon King of Arms for formal recognition as a baronet, such petition | ||||||
| being granted in December 1882. As a result, the Committee agreed that it would advise his | ||||||
| Majesty that the name of Sir Robert Fraser Turing should be entered on the official roll of | ||||||
| baronets. | ||||||
| The Twisden baronetcy [created 1666] | ||||||
| In June and July 1909, the Probate and Divorce Division heard a claim made under the | ||||||
| Legitimacy Declaration Act of 1858, the outcome of which would determine whether the | ||||||
| baronetcy of Twisden had become extinct. | ||||||
| The following edited report is taken from the Wellington, New Zealand 'Evening Post' of 4 | ||||||
| August 1909:- | ||||||
| 'An interesting case, involving a claim to the Twisden baronetcy came this week [the report | ||||||
| is dated 25 June 1909] before Mr. Justice Bargrave Deane in the Probate and Divorce Division, | ||||||
| under the Legitimacy Declaration Act……. | ||||||
| '…..the petitioner, Mary Henrietta Twisden, said she sought a declaration under the Legitimacy | ||||||
| Declaration Act that her father and grandfather were legitimate. The facts of the case……. | ||||||
| would turn upon the question of whether a certain Lieutenant Twisden, R.N., was married to | ||||||
| a Miss Mary Kirk in or about the year 1762. The decision of the case would not affect any | ||||||
| question of property, real or personal, but the right to the Twisden baronetcy did turn upon | ||||||
| his lordship's decision. If that decision were in favour of the petition, it would entitle a certain | ||||||
| gentleman to the baronetcy, whereas if it were unfavourable the baronetcy would become | ||||||
| extinct, and no one would be benefitted. | ||||||
| 'Counsel handed in a rough pedigree, and traced the descent of the petitioner. In 1705, he | ||||||
| said, there was born Sir Roger Twisden, fifth baronet. He had six children, including four sons, | ||||||
| one of whom was named William. Sir Roger died in 1772, his son William becoming a lieutenant | ||||||
| in the Navy, and petitioner asserted that he married Mary Kirk between 1762 and 1765. | ||||||
| Lieutenant Twisden's son, John T. Twisden, married one Ann Hammond, and the petitioner was | ||||||
| the lawful issue of this couple. Counsel directed attention to the fact that Lieutenant Twisden | ||||||
| and Mary Kirk lied together as man and wife at Leyton, and he urged that they were married, | ||||||
| as contended. Shortly after, Lieutenant Twisden was invalided from the Navy, and was nursed | ||||||
| at Mary's mother's house at Portsea. Two sons were born and died in infancy, but in October, | ||||||
| 1767, the son John (described by counsel as John No. 2) was born and baptised at Portsea. | ||||||
| Lieut. Twisden made a note in a book that had been preserved, referring to Mary as his wife. | ||||||
| Mary Kirk, who died when she was 27 years of age, was described in her burial certificate as | ||||||
| Mary Twisden, and was buried at the Independent Chapel, White-street, Southwark. Lieut. | ||||||
| Twisden's son Thomas was born on 7th July, 1769, and there was a material entry on 11th | ||||||
| August, 1769: "Churching 1s." Counsel submitted that this was very strong evidence of the | ||||||
| legitimacy of the child. | ||||||
| 'Later she wrote to Lieut. Twisden, and in this letter she observed "Pray take care of the | ||||||
| children, and Tom, whom you must feed in the night before he wakes." (Loud laughter.) In | ||||||
| December, 1771, Lieut. William Twisden died. The following February his father, Sir Roger, | ||||||
| made a will re-settling the whole of his estates, excluding the issue of the lieutenant. Sir | ||||||
| Roger died a month later, and John Papillion succeeded to the title. He provided for the | ||||||
| education of the late Lieutenant William's son John, and the petitioner's case was that John | ||||||
| Papillion Twisden had no right to assume the title, and that he knew this subsequently when | ||||||
| he did what he could for the late lieutenant's son short of giving up the baronetcy. Under "Sir" | ||||||
| John Papillion Twisden's will there was a bequest to "John Twisden, natural son of William | ||||||
| Twisden," a similar description being applied to him in a subsequent marriage settlement by | ||||||
| "Sir" John Papillion's son. Those two documents, said Mr. Rawlinson [petitioner's counsel], | ||||||
| contained the only suggestion that "John No. 2" was not the lawful son of Lieutenant William | ||||||
| Twisden and Mary Kirk. The family seat, added Mr. Rawlinson, was at Malling, Kent. Counsel | ||||||
| mentioned that the claimant of the succession to the baronetcy was the Rev. John Francis | ||||||
| Twisden, whose son, John Ramskill Twisden, was undertaking the matter for him. | ||||||
| 'Mr. John Ramskill Twisden gave evidence. He was a solicitor, he said, acting for the petitioner. | ||||||
| His father (the claimant of the title) was her guardian ad litem [i.e. a person appointed by a | ||||||
| court to take legal action on behalf of a minor or an adult not able to handle his or her own | ||||||
| affairs]. The petitioner was now 95 years of age, and the Rev. J.P. Twisden was living at | ||||||
| Bradbourne Park, Malling, Kent. Witness said he remembered a great aunt of his remarking that | ||||||
| the reason her father would not use the title was because he considered himself to be too | ||||||
| poor. She also told him her father was very much upset at reading Thackeray's novel | ||||||
| "Esmond," because there was a likeness between the hero and himself. (Laughter.) | ||||||
| 'Counsel read a letter from Lieutenant Twisden to one of his brothers. His "wife" had just | ||||||
| died, and the lieutenant asked for a more liberal allowance. A passage from the letter read by | ||||||
| Mr. Pilcher, cross-examining, was as follows:- | ||||||
| "Two hours before her death she cut out the children's mourning and desired me to wear | ||||||
| a decent suit of mourning, and after a decent time to put up a plain piece of stone on | ||||||
| her grave. I will starve in a ditch or die in a gaol rather than neglect to comply with her | ||||||
| requests…….Though she's dead, she's happy, as certain as I am alive and miserable." | ||||||
| 'Mr. Rawlinson added that it was hardly likely that Captain John would have erected the | ||||||
| following tablets in the church, saying:- | ||||||
| "Sacred to the memory of William Twisden second son of Sir Roger Twisden……and of Mary, | ||||||
| wife of William Twisden….and of their children, who died in infancy." | ||||||
| 'Counsel asked the court to find that Lieutenant William and Mary Kirk were married on or | ||||||
| about 1762-3, and that their children were legitimate. As to the marriage of the son, Captain | ||||||
| John, there was no dispute. | ||||||
| 'His Lordship intimated that he would consider his judgment. | ||||||
| 'Mr. Rawlinson mentioned that the petitioner, who was a very old lady, was the only living | ||||||
| person in a position by law to bring an action for the declaration of the legitimacy of her | ||||||
| father and grandfather. In the circumstances, would his Lordship give his decision at an early | ||||||
| date, or, perhaps, having made up his mind, would the learned judge make a note of his | ||||||
| decision, and place it in a sealed envelope? | ||||||
| 'His Lordship (smiling) said he had already formed a very strong opinion on the case, but on | ||||||
| consideration he might change his mind. Judgment was, therefore, reserved.' | ||||||
| On 19 August 1909, the 'Evening Post' followed up on their earlier report:- | ||||||
| 'One of the most romantic cases which has occupied the attention of the public for a long | ||||||
| time has just been decided in the Probate Court. Miss Emily [Mary?] Henrietta Twisden, an | ||||||
| old lady of 95, asked for a declaration that her grandfather, Lieutenant William Twisden, R.N., | ||||||
| was lawfully married to Mary Kirk about 1762-3, and that, therefore, their son, her father, | ||||||
| Captain John Twisden, R.N., who died in 1853, was legitimate. The Lieutenant, who had | ||||||
| quarrelled with his family, was wounded on active service and invalided home. He was nursed | ||||||
| back to health by Mary Kirk, the daughter of a petty officer, whom he married. His family, | ||||||
| however, denied the marriage, and the succession went to a younger son, a branch of the | ||||||
| family which has since died out. The proceedings were taken under the Legitimacy Act of | ||||||
| 1858, the petitioner being the last surviving grandchild and the only one entitled to sue. | ||||||
| Judgment was given in favour of the petitioner, and accordingly her nephew, the Rev. John | ||||||
| Francis Twisden, with whom she lives at Bradbourne, Kent, becomes the heir to the Twisden | ||||||
| baronetcy.' | ||||||
| In Cokayne's "Complete Baronetage," which was published just a few years prior to the 1909 | ||||||
| hearings, the baronetcy is shown, on the death of the 6th baronet, as having been 'inherited' | ||||||
| by his younger brother, 'Sir' John Papillon Twisden (c 1745-10 Feb 1810). On his death, the | ||||||
| baronetcy went to his only son and heir, 'Sir' John Twisden (June 1785-1 Jan 1841) on whose | ||||||
| death the baronetcy is shown as becoming extinct. The Twisden baronetcy does not appear | ||||||
| in any peerage reference work published between 1841 and 1909 that I can discover, but | ||||||
| after the decision in the 1909 case, the baronetcy re-appeared in reference works, re-written | ||||||
| so as to take into account the effects of such decision. | ||||||
| The baronetcy of Tyrrell of Thornton created in 1627 | ||||||
| Although the standard baronetage reference works state that the Tyrrell baronetcy became | ||||||
| extinct on the death of the 7th baronet in 1749, it appears that a claim for the baronetcy was | ||||||
| at least contemplated in 1904. The following article appeared in "The Burrowa News" of 21 | ||||||
| October 1904. Burrowa, now spelled Boorowa, is a small country town in New South Wales, | ||||||
| about 250 km west of Sydney. | ||||||
| 'A Burton-on-Trent cabman named Benjamin Tyrell claims the extinct baronetcy of the Tyrells, | ||||||
| formerly of Thornton Hall, Buckinghamshire. He also claims the ownership of the Thornton Hall | ||||||
| estates, which are nearly five miles square, and the Crakemarsh Hall estates, near Uttoxeter, | ||||||
| Staffs. Tyrrel, who some years ago lost a leg by being run over, has a family of ten. Having | ||||||
| obtained assistance, he now proposes to move for an order in chancery compelling the | ||||||
| disclosure of certain documents alleged to be in the possession of the Cavendish family. | ||||||
| Tyrell's claim to the immense estate rests on his contention that he is a direct descendant from | ||||||
| John Tyrell, third son of Sir Thomas Tyrell. According to Tyrell, Sir Thomas, who died in 1705, | ||||||
| left six sons and four daughters. The eldest son, Sir Henry, died three years later, leaving three | ||||||
| sons and two daughters. His eldest and second sons died bachelors, the third son, Charles, | ||||||
| entering into the estates. He in turn left an only daughter, the male line of the first son of | ||||||
| Sir Thomas thus failing. The daughter married Dr. Cotton, of Crakemarsh Hall, and conveyed, | ||||||
| through such marriage, the settled estates to Dr. Cotton. The estates, by descent from their | ||||||
| only daughter, Elizabeth Cotton, now lie vested in the present Cavendish family. It is contended | ||||||
| that the entail in the male line has not failed. The second son of Sit Thomas left a son who died | ||||||
| a bachelor. The third son, however, left issue, and from him the cabman claims direct descent. | ||||||
| He says that his great grandfather was the son of the third son of Sir Thomas, and when Dr. | ||||||
| Cotton's daughter, who married a Mr. Sheppard, entered into possession, the great grandfather | ||||||
| attempted to take possession. He was forcibly ejected, however, as were his grandfather, and | ||||||
| father, the latter in 1860. The family have always been too poor to take action at law, says the | ||||||
| cabman, but he now hopes to do what his ancestors failed to do. He recognises that the | ||||||
| difficulty is further increased by the fact that the old parish register is very imperfect, some | ||||||
| leaves being missing. The Tyrell family is of ancient lineage, dating back four centuries. One | ||||||
| member was Master of Horse to Catherine, Queen Consort of Henry VIII, and descendants have | ||||||
| at times been very closely connected with the Royal House, one of the latest being General | ||||||
| Tyrell, M.P., Groom of the Bedchamber to the Prince of Wales, and the Governor of Gravesend | ||||||
| and Tilbury forts.' | ||||||
| Regrettably, I have been unable to discover any further information on this potential claim. | ||||||
