Talk:Earl of Craven

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The current earl (9th) does not seem to have a son nor any child or heir, according to my sources (thepeerage.com & www3.dcs.hull.ac.uk/genealogy/royal/). --VM 18:03, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, I found a living male heir of the 1st earl's body: Lt.-Cmdr. Rupert Jose Evelyn Craven (b. 1926), a grandson of the 3rd earl by a younger son; he has been married since 1955, but I found no children of his.
And there does not seem to be any further male heir of the barony, either.

[edit] An earlier Baron Craven

While I was looking into the origins of the Craven Scholarship at Oxford University, I discovered that there was an earlier Baron Craven. John Craven (1610-06-10-c.1650) was created by king Charles the first 21 March 1642 baron Craven of Ryton in the county of Salop, which title (Lord Craven of Ryton ) became extinct at his death. His father Sir William Craven was Lord Mayor of London in 1610. See Lord Mayors of London. For my search details, see Talk:John Charles Ryle. DFH 13:39, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
