Nelson Baronets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There have been two Baronetcies created for people with the surname Nelson.

The Nelson Baronetcy, of Acton Park, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 5 February 1912 for William Nelson. As of 2006 the presumed fourth holder of the title has not successfully proven his succession to the Baronetcy and is consequently not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the Baronetcy considered dormant.

The Nelson Baronetcy, of Hilcote Hall in the County of Stafford, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 11 July 1955 for Sir George Nelson. In 1960 he was raised to the peerage as Baron Nelson of Stafford.
