Judkin-Fitzgerald Baronets

The Judkin-Fitzgerald Baronetcy was created for Col Thomas Judkin-Fitzgerald in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 5 August 1801, as high sheriff of co. Tipperary in suppressing the Irish Rebellion of 1798. The title became dormant or extinct upon the death of the 4th Baronet in 1917; no heir has yet been traced. [Grant Bavister Asst.

* Sir Joseph Capel Judkin-Fitzgerald, 4th Baronet (1853–1917), ed. Harrow, appears in the list of [http://www.cmcrp.net/Tipperary/Landowner5.html Property owners County Tipperary circa 1870] .

1st heir Capel Gerald Judkin-Fitzgerald, 1872-1898 2nd heir Thomas Judkin-Fitzgerald, 5th Baronet 1873 entry incomplete - apparently unproven

The Official Roll states that the 4th Baronet was Sir Joseph Capel Judkin-Fitzgerald, b. 1853, d. 1917, his heir was Capel Gerald Judkin-Fitzgerald, b 1872, d 1898 and the 2nd heir was Thomas Judkin-Fitzgerald, b. 1873. The Roll shows this Thomas as the 5th Baronet, doubtful this having actually been proved as the entry appears incomplete. The entry after Thomas simply says Baronetcy is either extinct or dormant and gives no date of death for Thomas, nor does it say what relationship he was to the 4th Baronet. It should be possible by searching the records of Wills and the registers of Birth, Marriages and Deaths to ascertain what legitimate male issue the 4th Baronet had and to work out from that whether there is in fact still an heir to the title.

With the vast majority of Baronetcy creations the remainder, or the way the title passes from generation to generation is to "heirs male of the body of the first grantee lawfully begotten", which means that it will pass from the 1st Baronet to his eldest surviving son and so forth, down the male line. It is highly unlikely that the remainder for this creation provided for it to pass under any circumstances down the female line. No records whatsoever about the creation of this title, save for the entry on the official Roll of the Baronetage and that doesn't assist in this case. To make certain about the remainder, the National Archives will have a record on the Patent Rolls for 1801. [http://www.hereditarypeers.com/deptcon1.htm Grant Bavister] Asst.
