Woodford baronets

Escutcheon of the Woodford baronets of Carleby

The Woodford baronetcy, of Carleby in the County of Lincoln, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 28 July 1791 for Ralph Woodford, the former Ambassador to Denmark.[1] During the period from the Peace of Paris of 1783, which included an Anglo-Spanish treaty, and the Nootka Sound Convention of 1790, he had been engaged in efforts to negotiate a commercial treaty with the Spanish Empire, under the Marquess of Carmarthen; which were terminated, however, by the Nootka Crisis.[2][3]

The 2nd Baronet was Governor of Trinidad between 1813 and 1828. The title became extinct on his death the latter year.[4]
