Persons not entitled to inheritance
The older half-brother of the current baron was illegitimately born ( born out of wedlock ) and, therefore, the father did not inherit on the death of the title. The fact that the parents got married later did not change this.
The current baron has two children. They are also not entitled to inherit the title, as they are not biological children but have been adopted . However, since 2004, adopted children of a peer are allowed to use the courtesy forms to which children of the peer are entitled.
