From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bernard baronetcy, of Nettleham in the County of Lincoln, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 5 April 1769 for Francis Bernard. He was colonial governor of New Jersey and Massachusetts Bay.[1]
His younger son, the 4th Baronet, sat as Member of Parliament for Aylesbury and for St Mawes; and served under William Pitt the Younger as Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department. In 1789 he assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Tyringham and in 1811 the surname of Morland in lieu of Tyringham.[2] The 6th Baronet, also represented Aylesbury in the House of Commons. On his death in 1883 without surviving male issue, the baronetcy became extinct.[1]
