Official Roll of the Baronetage
- Official Roll of the Baronetage
-
The Official Roll of the Baronetage is an official list of baronets compiled by the Crown Office, a section of the Ministry of Justice, and published by the Standing Council of the Baronetage. It was first published 23 February 1914. Only those persons listed on the Official Roll are members of the baronetage, and any person who wishes to claim succession to a baronetcy must produce the necessary proof of succession to the Secretary of State for Justice. There are many heirs to baronetcies who have not done so.[1]
There are currently a total of 1314 baronetcies on the Official Roll, of which 146 are of England, 63 of Ireland, 119 of Nova Scotia, 133 of Great Britain and 853 of the United Kingdom. The Roll lists every extant Baronetcy in chronological order of creation; the most senior and therefore Premier Baronet is Sir Nicholas Bacon, 14th Baronet of Redgrave whose title was created in 1611.
