Lawson-Tancred Baronetcy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tancred, later Lawson-Tancred Baronetcy, of Boroughbridge in the County of York, is a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 17 November 1662 for Thomas Tancred. He was a descendant of Richard Tankard, who shortly after the Norman Conquest owned lands at Boroughbridge in Yorkshire, where the family is still settled. The ninth Baronet married Margery Ellinor, eldest daughter and co-heir of Andrew Sherlock Lawson, younger brother of Sir John Grant Lawson, 1st Baronet (see Lawson Baronets). In 1914 he assumed by deed poll the additional surname of Lawson.
