Tichborne baronets

[2] The inheritance of the titles has been complicated, coming through two sons of Sir Benjamin, 1st Bt, Richard and Walter.

One daughter of Sir Henry (4th Bt), Mary Agnes, married Michael Blount of Mapledurham.

Sir Walter married Mary White by her inheriting land in Aldershot (the family had a home in Aldershot Park for many years before building a grander home at Manor Park where their descendants lived for nearly 200 years).

[citation needed] Following the disappearance in 1854 of Roger Charles Tichborne, the heir to the title of the 10th Baronet, the appearance in 1866 of a claimant led to a highly publicised legal battle known as the Tichborne Case, at the end of which the claimant was declared an impostor.

In 1866, the wealth of the 11th Baronet included Tichborne Park's 2,290 acres (930 ha), manors, lands and farms in Hampshire, and considerable properties in London and elsewhere,[3] which altogether produced an annual income of over £20,000,[4] equivalent to several millions in 21st-century terms.

Sir Henry married Gwendolyne Petre, whose grandmother was Julia Tichborne, one of the seven daughters of the 8th Bt.
