Campbell-Orde baronets

The Orde, later Campbell-Orde Baronetcy, of Morpeth in the County of Northumberland, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 9 August 1790 for the naval commander John Orde.[1] He was the younger brother of Thomas Orde-Powlett, 1st Baron Bolton (see Baron Bolton for more information on this branch of the family). The third Baronet assumed in 1880 by Royal licence the additional surname of Campbell, which was that of his maternal grandfather Peter Campbell, of Kilmory.
