Slingsby baronets

Simon was third son of Marioria (daughter of Simon Poley) and John Slingsby, son and heir of John Slingsby of Scriven, chief forester of Knaresborough, and Joan, daughter of Walter Calverley, of Calverley in Yorkshire.

[2] A second Baronetcy of Slingsby of Scriven [3] was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 2 March 1638 for Henry Slingsby of Scriven Hall, the representative of the main line of the family and a supporter of Charles I.

The Baronetcy was extinct or dormant on the death of his son Sir Charles, the second Baronet.

He is chiefly remembered as the husband of the celebrated actress Lady Mary Slingsby (died 1694).

The Baronetcy of Slingsby of Newcells, Hertfordshire[1] was created in the Baronetage of England on 16 March 1660 for Robert Slingsby, (second son of Sir Guildford Slingby above and elder brother of Sir Arthur above) who married the heiress of Newcells.
