There is no indication that this person ever received knighthood. All sources on the net list him only as "Dr" Travelbird (talk) 12:35, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
- You managed to get this tag in place within seconds of the page being posted, hence great research on your part (irony!) Have a look at the dates; he became the Baronet in mid-2010, when the 16th Baronet, his father, died.[1] By the 'rules', under baronetcy, the new Baronet is a knight and entitled to be called "Sir".- Peter Ellis - Talk 12:53, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
-Yes, that might be - although I might add that none of the sources lists him as "Sir" - but that does not make him notable as he didn't get the title for any achievement. Notability is not inherited. Travelbird (talk) 12:59, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
