Talk:List of baronetcies

Untitled

I'm currently compiling a list of the english baronets, extant and extinct. Mackensen 20:05, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

Sir Denis Thatcher and Sir Mark Thatcher

Resolved

A modern day creation of a baronetcy - Sir Denis Thatcher in 1991 (now passed on to his son, Sir Mark Thatcher, since 2003). Should this not be added to this list? I think it would come under "Baronetcy of the United Kingdom". David.

Yes, it should, but the list at present only includes baronetcies created in the Baronetage of England (1611-1707). Mackensen (talk) 21:20, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Extinct/dormant

Resolved

This page ought to explain (or link to an explanation of) the difference. Noel (talk) 20:54, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

It should refer to the Standing Council of the Baronetage and should be cross referenced with their list of dormancies.

Comprehensive list?

Resolved

I'm sure the list is not complete, the UK section anyway. The Baronet page mentions some famous Baronets, yet the two I happened to check, Edward Elgar and Ranulph Fiennes weren't listed. I've added then, and I've yet to check any others. --JRawle 15:08, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

British Commonwealth Baronetcies

Resolved

Has anyone thought of writing an article on British Commonwealth Baronetcies, as there are quite a few Baronets from Canada, New Zealand, & South Africa? I reckon that is worth an article by itself. What do you think? - (Aidan Work 02:24, 10 January 2006 (UTC))

The Commonwealth of Nations has not been "The British ..." since 1946 or 1949, depending on how you count. Hu 04:07, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

A bold proposal

Resolved

Given the discussion here and the general support for moving the article to a more descriptive and accurate title, would anyone object if I moved the article to List of baronetcies in the peerages of the British Isles with a redirect from List of baronetcies? I'm going to propose this for the other peerage pages, as well. Fishhead64 20:44, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

that's not a more accurate title. A baronetcy is not a peerage title. Baronets are not peers. - Nunh-huh 20:53, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, how about List of baronetcies in the British Isles? Fishhead64 21:24, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Why? There are no non-British baronetcies... Proteus (Talk) 21:57, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Good point. Never mind. :) Fishhead64 01:42, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

And of course there is the minor matter of the "British Isles" not being a reality as far as the vast majority of people in Ireland are concerned. El Gringo 14:32, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
