			Sir William Wolseley, 3rd baronet [creation of 1628]
			According to 'The Times' of 15 April 1820 "Sir William, the third baronet, was drowned in his
			chariot and four, returning home from Lichfield, July 8, 1728, between 7 and 8 o'clock in the
			evening, passing a little brook in a village called Long, in the high road. This accident
			happened by the sudden breaking down of a mill-dam at a small distance, occasioned by a
			violent thunder-shower, which brought down a body of water that sunk the chariot in the
			very moment of its crossing the brook. The coachman was carried down the torrent into an
			orchard, about 100 yards from the place, and saved himself in the top of an apple-tree."
			Sir Capel Charles Wolseley, 9th baronet [creation of 1745]
			Sir Capel was killed in a cycling accident in August 1923. The following report appeared in 'The
			Times' on 28 August 1923:-
			'Sir Capel Wolseley, Bt., died from injuries received yesterday in a cycling accident at
			Blythburgh Common, near Southwold [on the Suffolk coast]. He was cycling to visit a relative
			when he suddenly turned in front of a motor-car which was approaching from behind. The driver
			of the car turned off the road on to the common, but was unable to avoid a collision, and Sir
			Capel was thrown into the road, and became unconscious. He was conveyed to Southwold
			Hospital, where he died fifteen minutes after admission.'
			On 29 August 1923, 'The Times' reported that 'An inquest on the body of Sir Capel Wolseley,
			Bt., who was killed while cycling on Blythburgh Common on Monday, was held yesterday evening
			at Southwold. Miss Winifred Wolseley, a sister, said that Sir Capel's sight was bad. Mr. Walter
			Charles Tarrant said he was motoring across the common, and noticed Sir Capel going in the
			same direction. In order to pass the driver of his car took the right side of the road, but just as
			they reached him Sir Capel swerved in front of the car. The driver, in evidence, said that he
			sounded his hooter twice. Sir Capel gave no indication that he intended to cross the road. The
			lane leading to the cottage to which he was going was invisible from the road. Medical evidence
			showed that death was due to a fracture of the skull. The jury returned a verdict of "accidental
			death" and exonerated the driver of the car.'
			Sir Reginald Beatty Wolseley, 10th baronet [creation of 1745]
			Sir Reginald became somewhat of a celebrity in America in 1930 when it was discovered that,
			while working as an elevator operator in a hotel in the small town of Waterloo, Iowa, he had
			some years previously succeeded to the baronetcy of Wolseley.
			Following his death in July 1933 the article below appeared in the 'Chicago Daily Tribune':-
			'London July 10 - The "elevator boy baronet," Sir Reginald Beatty Wolseley - known as "Dick"
			to the folks back in Waterloo, Iowa - is dead. His death occurred at Capel cottage, Berrynarbor,
			North Devon, it was announced today. He was 61 years old.
			'Sir Reginald, the son of Dr. Cadwallader Brooke Wolseley of Dublin and a cousin of Admiral Earl
			Beatty, lived a fantastic, "fairy story" life. In 1897, at the age of 25, he left England for the
			United States and after years of wandering wound up in Waterloo as an elevator operator in a
			hotel. He worked there 14 years.
			'He acquired his title in 1923 on the death of his cousin, Sir Capel Charles Wolseley, but liked
			his job in Iowa so well that he stayed there and kept his title a secret. He preferred to be
			known as "Dick." He attributed his failure to get a better paying position to fallen arches. "I
			might have been a go-getter," he said, "but my poor feet wouldn't stand any rushing about."
			'In May, 1930, however, his secret came out. Miss Marion Elizabeth Baker, a Devon nurse,
			went to Waterloo as a messenger from Sir Reginald's mother, who had just died. Miss Baker
			revealed that she was fulfilling a death-bed wish made by his mother to bring Sir Reginald
			back to England. The day after her arrival she married Sir Reginald. He was 58, she was 40.
			'The bride found, however, that getting Dick to England was not such an easy task. She
			herself left the day after their marriage with the understanding that Sir Reginald would follow
			as soon as he could straighten up his elevator affairs. The baronet, though, was too attached
			to his lift. He refused to budge.
			'Furthermore, that fall he obtained a divorce. He said his wife harassed him by sending so many
			cablegrams coaxing him to come home. Undaunted, Lady Wolseley that December [1931] once
			again travelled to Waterloo and used all her powers of persuasion. She won her point. The
			divorce was set aside in January, 1932, and this time both Sir Reginald and his wife sailed for
			England.'
			After the death of her husband, Lady Wolseley ceased to use the title, and insisted she be
			known as Mrs. Marion Baker Wolseley. She survived Sir Reginald by less than a year, dying
			on 20 June 1934 from spinal injuries caused by falling out of a bedroom window in her cottage.
			Sir Garnet Wolseley, 12th baronet [creation of 1745]
			In his book "My Forty Years with Debrett," [Robert Hale, London, 1963] the former editor of
			that publication, Cyril Hankinson, includes a chapter entitled 'Missing Heirs,' in which he
			discusses a number of titles where he was able to establish the identity of the rightful heir.
			One of these titles was the baronetcy of Wolseley. The relevant section in the book relating
			to this baronetcy is as follows:-
			'Another baronetcy which engaged our attention about the same time [i.e. the late 1940s] was
			that of Wolseley of Mount Wolseley, County Carlow, an Irish Baronetcy which had been created
			in 1745. We had noticed that the Reverend Sir William Augustus Wolseley, who was over eighty
			years of age, had no heir clearly indicated in Debrett although there were a number of male
			members of the family listed who were in the line of succession.
			'To clear up the position we called upon the Press once again to help us, and it seemed very
			soon that our problem had been solved, for we were put into touch with a Mr. Noel Wolseley,
			who was living in Manchester, New Hampshire, U.S.A. He was a naturalized American citizen,
			but that would not have been any bar to his taking up the title if he had come over to this
			country. To us there did not appear to be anyone with a better claim, so I regret to say that
			we went so far as to inform him that in our view he was heir to the baronetcy.
			'However, when in 1950 Sir Augustus Wolseley died, and considerable publicity was given to his
			death in the newspapers. I received a letter from a Mrs. Richard Wolseley, of Wallasey,
			Cheshire, who had read of the death of Sir Augustus. She enquired whether I thought her late
			husband might have been related to the family as the name was rather uncommon. She gave a
			few details concerning her husband and his father, and mentioned that she had a son, and I felt
			convinced that they must be members of the family whom he had not hitherto listed in Debrett.
			'I investigated the matter fully, and found that not only was she related to the late Sir
			Augustus, but that her son, Garnet Wolseley, a cobbler by trade, was undoubtedly the new
			baronet. I therefore passed the information onto my friend, Mr. F.J. Dadd, and in due course
			he obtained all the necessary evidence to enable him to place Garnet Wolseley's name on the
			Roll of the Baronetage. When interviewed, after his marriage to a local girl some three months
			later, Wolseley - who it was stated used to mend about eighty pairs of shoes  a week and earn
			about £5 10s - candidly admitted that business had improved a lot since he had become a
			baronet, 'but,' said he, 'I still like my customers to call me George.'
			'A little later the cobbler baronet emigrated to Canada, where he is still living in Ontario. As he
			has now been married for over ten years and has no children his American kinsman Noel
			Wolseley is his heir. Noel, however, is no longer very enthusiastic about the possibility of
			becoming a baronet. I 'let him down' once by informing him that he was Sir Augustus' heir and
			his faith in me was shaken. Moreover he is now over seventy years of age, and has no son,
			and the baronet is twenty-six years younger than he is.
			'If Sir Garnet dies without a son and Noel predeceases him there will be another intriguing
			situation  for next in line is Robert Benjamin Wolseley born in 1873. Nobody knows where he
			is, or whether he ever married. After him comes James Douglas Wolseley, born in 1903, who
			lives in Texas, but he would not be able to claim the title unless it could be proved that Robert
			Benjamin died without leaving male issue.'
			The present baronet is Sir James Douglas Wolseley, son of the James Douglas Wolseley
			mentioned above, although he appears to have taken no steps to prove his succession, since
			the baronetcy currently appears on the listing included in the webpage of the Standing Council
			of the Baronetage of those baronetcies to which no succession has been proved.
			Sir John Godfrey Worsley-Taylor, 3rd baronet
			Sir John died in July 1952, after falling down a set of stairs, as reported in the London "Daily
			Mail" of 19 July 1952:-
			'Captain Sir John Godfrey Worsley-Taylor, 36-year-old war-time Scots Guard officer, was found
			dead yesterday in a top-floor mansion flat at Queen's Gate-gardens, S.W., by two detectives
			who called to report that his stolen car had been recovered.
			'They found Sir John, in a grey lounge suit, at the foot of a small flight of stairs inside the flat.
			He had been dead for almost a week. A post-mortem last night showed that he had died of a
			broken neck.
			'Mrs. Elsie Murphy, 40-year-old housekeeper in a flat below, said: "I was in the kitchen on
			Saturday evening when I heard a bump upstairs at about 7.15 p.m. It sounded like someone
			falling heavily.
			'A police spokesman said last night: "Sir John must have tripped at the top of the stairs, of
			which there are about 16. There is no suspicion of foul play.
			'The flat is owned by Lady Mary Stanley-Clark, 42, who returned to this country three years
			ago after her second husband died in Italy. Sir John frequently occupied the flat while she
			was away.
			'Sir John's marriage in 1942 to Miss Anne Paget, only daughter of the late Captain J. Paget,
			former huntsman and author, of Meltom Mowbray, was dissolved in 1950. They had one
			daughter. Sir John was the bthird baronet, succeeding his father, Lieut.-Colonel Sir James
			Worsley-Taylor, in 1933.'
			Sir Horatio Henry Wraxall, 4th baronet
			Wraxall was convicted of fraud in October 1878 and was sentenced to twelve months'
			imprisonment. The following report is from 'The Times' of 30 October 1878:-
			'Sir Henry Horatio [sic] Wraxall and George Roskell Crowley, thirty, clerk, were indicted, at
			the Old Bailey, for unlawfully conspiring together to obtain money by false pretences, and with
			intent to defraud.
			'It was alleged for the prosecution that the prisoners sought to take an office at Duchy-
			chambers, 137A, Strand, of Mr. Brophy, a builder, and that the reference given was the
			"Merchant's Joint-Stock Bank (Limited)," with which Sir Henry Wraxall was said to be
			connected. A satisfactory reply was received, and the office was let; the names of
			"Wraxall and Co.," of "Mr. Crowley." and of the "South African General Stores and Trading
			Company (Limited)" being painted upon the door-posts. Crowley then ordered from a printer
			in the neighbourhood various forms and memoranda relating to the company, stating that
			he was the agent of "Sir James Graham," the manager of the company, who was then on
			his way to England from South Africa. With these preparations the prisoners advertised in
			various country newspapers to the following effect:-
			"South Africa - Wanted, several respectable, energetic, experienced young men as managers
			and assistants in the drapery, hardware, boot, drug, spirits, crockery, clothing, grocery, and
			implements departments of new stores about to be opened by a large trading company etc.
			Good salaries, and passage paid. Address 'Africus' (enclosing addressed envelope), City News
			Rooms, Ludgate-circus."
			'The result of so tempting an advertisement was the receipt of hundreds of offers for the
			various situations. Upon their receipt an application form was sent, and a guinea demanded as
			a guarantee that the applicant would fill the situation to which he was nominated. Afterwards
			other monies were received, and the selected applicants were ordered to be in readiness to
			proceed to Cape Town by a ship called the Edith Carmichael, to sail on a certain day. The
			applicants gave up their situations with that view, but there was no ship of the name
			mentioned, or any other, prepared to take them to the Cape, and they, therefore, lost both
			their employment and the money paid to the prisoners. When the prisoner Crowley was
			arrested, various papers connected with the alleged fraud were found upon him, and it was
			proved that the prisoner Wraxall was equally cognisant of and intimately connected with all
			the proceedings.
			'Mr. Brophy, the landlord of Duchy-chambers, 137A, Strand, proved letting a room there to
			the prisoners, who he understood were connected with the Stock Exchange. Wraxall gave
			him a reference in Great Russell-street, and said he had command over certain shares in the
			Stock Exchange. Crowley said very little indeed, for Wraxall did all the talking. They never
			paid a farthing for the room. Wraxall did not say he was a baronet, for if he had witness
			would not have taken him without further inquiry. He had the words "Wraxall and Co," painted
			on the door-posts, and beneath them the name of Crowley, as manager.
			'Proof was given by various persons at York, Ashton-under-Lyne, Liverpool, and elsewhere of
			seeing the advertisements in the newspapers, of coming to London and paying the deposits
			demanded, and then hearing nothing more of the matter.
			'The jury, in the result, convicted both prisoners, and they were sentenced to twelve months'
			imprisonment each.'
			This incident does not appear to be the first time that Wraxall was mixed up in dubious affairs,
			since an Inspector Hagan stated that for some years Wraxall had been connected with various
			bubble companies and swindling transactions.
			Wraxall was subsequently committed to the Wandsworth Lunatic Asylum on 1 April 1881, where
			he died, completely destitute, in early April 1882, from 'general paralysis.'
