Mowbray baronets

The Mowbray baronetcy, of Warennes Wood, Mortimer, in the County of Berkshire, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 3 May 1880 for the politician John Mowbray. He served as Judge Advocate General from 1858 to 1859 and from 1866 to 1868. He was Member of Parliament for Oxford University from 1868, and was Father of the House of Commons from 1898 to 1899. Born John Cornish, he had assumed by Royal licence the surname of Mowbray (which was that of his father-in-law) in lieu of his patronymic in 1847.[1]

The 2nd Baronet was also a politician, Member of Parliament for Prestwich from 1886 to 1895 and for Lambeth, Brixton division from 1900 to 1906.[1] The title became extinct on the death of the 6th Baronet on 15 September 2022.[2][3]
