Royden baronets

The Royden Baronetcy, of Frankby Hall in the County Palatine of Chester, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.[1] It was created on 29 July 1905 for Thomas Royden, head of Thomas Royden & Sons, shipowners. He also served as Lord Mayor of Liverpool and represented Toxteth West in the House of Commons as a Conservative. His eldest son, the second Baronet, was Chairman of the Cunard Line and sat as Member of Parliament for Bootle. On 28 January 1944 he was created Baron Royden, of Frankby in the County Palatine of Chester, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.[2] However, the peerage became extinct on his death in 1950 while he was succeeded in the baronetcy by his younger brother, the third Baronet.

Agnes Maude Royden was the youngest child of the first Baronet.

gollark: Actually reusing it would be efficient and sensible, so they almost certainly don't.
gollark: > how goes it?It goes very something-ly.
gollark: No, I mean you literally cannot prove that.
gollark: Somewhat relatedly, proving you've deleted something makes *no sense*.
