The second Baronet was a Director of the Bank of Ireland. The third Baronet was Attorney-General to Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, later Edward VII. The seventh Baronet assumed in 1931 by deed poll the additional surname of Cable, being the surname of his mother, the Hon. Noorouz Weston Cable, daughter of Baron Cable. As of 31 December 2013 the present Baronet has not successfully proven his succession and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant.{{cite web |url=http://www.baronetage.org/official-roll-of-the-baronets/ |title=Official Roll of the Baronetage » the Standing Council of the Baronetage – |accessdate=2016-02-03 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150306051137/http://www.baronetage.org/official-roll-of-the-baronets/ |archivedate=6 March 2015 }}
