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

[edit] Sir Denis Thatcher and Sir Mark Thatcher
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)
[edit] Extinct/dormant
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.
[edit] Comprehensive list?
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)
[edit] British Commonwealth Baronetcies
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)
[edit] A bold proposal
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)
