The baronetcy was originally intended for his grandfather Coleridge Kennard, co-founder of the Evening News and Member of Parliament for Salisbury from 1882 to 1885, who had died before the patent was gazetted. His grandmother Ellen Georgiana Kennard was granted the style and precedence as if her husband had been created a baronet. She was the daughter of John Wilkinson Rowe, and niece of Joshua Rowe.[1]

The title became extinct on the death of the 3rd Baronet in 1999.[2]
