Jerningham baronets

The Jerningham Baronetcy, of Cossey in the County of Norfolk, was a title in the Baronetage of England.

He died in 1809 when the baronetcy and the claim to the barony passed to his son, the seventh Baronet.

He petitioned the House of Lords for a reversal of the attainder of the barony of Stafford and for a writ of summons to Parliament.

In 1824 the attainder was reversed and the following year he was summoned to the House of Lords as the eighth Baron Stafford.

The baronetcy, which could only be inherited through male lines, was passed on to Henry William Stafford Jerningham, the eleventh Baronet.
