Thorold Baronets
Encyclopedia
There have been four Baronetcies created for members of the Thorold family of Lincolnshire
, two in the Baronetage of England and two in the Baronetage of Great Britain. One creation is extant as of 2008.
The Thorold Baronetcy, of Marston in the County of Lincoln, was created in the Baronetage of England on 24 August 1642 for William Thorold. He fought as a Royalist in the Civil War
and represented Grantham
in the House of Commons
after the Restoration
. The fourth Baronet sat as Member of Parliament
for Grantham and Lincolnshire
. The ninth Baronet was Member of Parliament for Lincolnshire. The tenth Baronet was a noted book collector. The twelfth Baronet represented Grantham in Parliament. The fifteenth Baronet was a Captain
in the Royal Navy
and leader of the Lincolnshire County Council. As of 13 June 2007 the presumed sixteenth and present Baronet has not successfully proven his succession to the title and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant since 1999.
