Baron Newborough

Baron Newborough is a title that has been created twice in the Peerage of Ireland. Both titles are still extant. The first creation was in 1716 for George Cholmondeley, later 2nd Earl of Cholmondeley. The Earls and later Marquesses of Cholmondeley continue to hold this barony of "Newburgh, in the Isle of Anglesey",(see Marquess of Cholmondeley).

The second barony was created in 1776 for Sir Thomas Wynn, 3rd Baronet, of Bodvean. He represented Caernarvonshire, St Ives and Beaumaris in the House of Commons and also served as Lord Lieutenant of Caernarvonshire. His eldest son, the second Baron, represented Caernarvonshire in Parliament. He was succeeded by his younger brother, the third Baron. As of 2006 the titles are held by the latter's great-great-grandson, the eighth Baron.

The Baronetcy, of Bodvean in the County of Carnarvon, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 25 October, 1742 for the first Baron's grandfather Thomas Wynn. He represented Caernarfon in the House of Commons and was also a court official. His son, the second Baronet, represented both Caernarfon and Caernarvonshire in Parliament. He was succeeded by his son, the third Baronet, who was created Baron Newborough in 1776.

As of 30 June 2006, the present holder of the barony has not successfully proven his succession to the baronetcy and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage. However, the case is under review by the Registrar of the Baronetage (for more information follow this [http://www.baronetage.org/unproven.htm link] ).
