From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Onslow baronetcy, of Althain in the County of Lancaster, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 30 October 1797 for the naval commander Sir Richard Onslow. The title was awarded in recognition of his services at the Battle of Camperdown where he was second in command. Onslow was the second son of Lieutenant-General Richard Onslow, uncle of the 1st Earl of Onslow.[2]
The present holder of the baronetcy is in special remainder to the barony of Onslow.[1]
