Calverley-Blackett Baronets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Calverley, later Calverley-Blackett Baronetcy, of Calverley in the County of York, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 11 November 1711 for Walter Calverley. He was succeeded by his son Walter, the second Baronet. In 1729 he married Elizabeth, illegitimate daughter of Sir William Blackett, 2nd Baronet who on his death in 1728 had bequeathed his estate to Calverley, his nephew, on the condition of that marriage and Calverley's assumption of the additional surname of Blackett. He and Elizabeth had no surviving children and the baronetcy became extinct on Calverley-Blackett's death in 1777.
