There have been several baronetcies created for descendants of the ancient Norman family of Molyneux who were granted extensive estates in Lancashire after the Norman Conquest. The Baronetcy of Molyneux of Sefton was created in the Baronetage of England on 22 May 1611 for Richard Molyneux, Member of Parliament for Lancashire on three occasions 1584 to 1611. Successors were raised to the Peerage as Viscount Molyneux and Earl of Sefton.〔(George Edward Cokayne ''Complete Baronetage'' 1900 )〕 The Baronetcy of Molyneux of Teversall was created in the Baronetage of England on 29 June 1611 for John Molyneux, of a junior branch of the family. The seat at Teversal Manor, near Mansfield, Nottinghamshire came into the family by the 16th century marriage of Francis Molyneux to the Teversal heiress Elizabeth Greenhalgh.〔(George Edward Cokayne ''Complete Baronetage'' 1900 )〕 The baronetcy was extinct on the death in 1812 of the unmarried seventh Baronet. The estate passed to the family of his sister and heir Juliana Molyneux (1749–1808). She married Henry Howard (1713–1787) a descendant of the 22nd Earl of Arundel. Their eldest son became the 12th Duke of Norfolk and their younger son, Lord Henry Thomas Howard-Molyneux-Howard (1766–1824), had a daughter, Henriette Anna, who married Henry John George Herbert, 3rd Earl of Carnarvon. His eldest son, the 4th Earl, was Henry Howard Molyneux Herbert and it became customary of the Herberts to pass on the 'Molyneux' name. A fourth baronetcy namely Molyneux of Castle Dillon, County Armagh was created in the Baronetage of Ireland 4 July 1730 for Thomas Molyneux, a distinguished doctor. His family, who are first recorded in Calais around 1530, settled in Ireland around 1570. ==Molyneux of Sefton, Lancashire (1611)== * Sir Richard Molyneux, 1st Baronet (1560–1622) * Sir Richard Molyneux, 2nd Baronet ( Created Viscount Molyneux in 1628) * For further succession see Earl of Sefton :''Extinct on the death of the last Earl of Sefton'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Molyneux baronets」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
