Kemp baronets
Extinct baronetcy in the Baronetage of England
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kemp Baronetcy, of Gissing in the County of Norfolk, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 14 March 1642 for Robert Kemp. The second Baronet sat as member of parliament for Norfolk and Dunwich. The third Baronet was member of parliament for Dunwich and Suffolk. The fourth Baronet was member of parliament for Orford. The title became extinct on the death of the twelfth Baronet in 1936.[2]
Sir Kenneth Hagar Kemp's heir and only son, Robert Hamilton Kemp, predeceased him suddenly in 1933 due to "rupture of an aneurism of the aorta".[3] He had served as lieutenant in South Africa (1899-1902) and in World War I (1914-1918). Later in life, he was a racehorse trainer at Heathcote House. Captain Kemp was married to Violet Marie, daughter of Colonel Robert C. Dalrymple Stewart-Muirhead and had issue two daughters.[4]
