Career
Born the son of Sir William Molyneux, 6th Baronet[1] and educated at Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Wakefield, Francis Molyneux was appointed gentleman usher daily waiter to the Queen in 1761 (at the age of 23) and Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod in 1765 (four years later).[2] He held the post until his death 47 years later.
On his death, as he was unmarried, his baronetcy became extinct and his estates at Teversal and Wellow passed to Lord Henry Howard-Molyneux-Howard.[3]
There is a memorial to him at St Catherine's Church in Teversal in Nottinghamshire.[4]
