Heron baronets

There have been two baronetcies created for descendants of the ancient 12th-century border family of Heron of Ford Castle, Northumberland.

The Heron Baronetcy, of Chipchase,[1] was created on 20 November 1662 in the Baronetage of England by Charles II for Cuthbert Heron of Chipchase Castle, Northumberland in recognition of the loyalty shown to the King's father Charles I. The 5th Baronet, whose father changed his name upon marriage into the Myddleton family, was the nephew of the 3rd Baronet. The baronetcy became extinct on his death in 1801.

The Heron Baronetcy, of Newark upon Trent,[2] was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 25 August 1778 for Richard Heron, Chief Secretary for Ireland 1777–80. He was succeeded by his nephew, the 2nd Baronet, who was Member of Parliament for Grimsby 1812–1818 and for Peterborough 1819–47. The baronetcy became extinct on his death in 1854.

gollark: I don't *think* so, you would just need to depth-first-search the transactions.
gollark: Yes, that.
gollark: It would refund any transaction done with the coins from the one you revoked, and any transaction done with output from that transaction, and so on.
gollark: It would undo the transaction and (maybe partially) undo any depending on it.
gollark: If I wanted to make it really annoying for anyone to ever use the cryptocurrency, I could make it so that you could revoke transactions any time after you make them or something.
