The 2nd Baronet married Ethel Blanche, sister of his father's second wife, and co-heir of Haughton Ealdred Okeover.[1] Through the marriage Okeover Hall, Staffordshire, came into the family. The 3rd Baronet assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Okeover in 1956.[3] He served as Lord-Lieutenant of Derbyshire from 1951 to 1977.
Osmaston Manor, Derbyshire, was acquired by the 1st Baronet in 1884.[2] The house was demolished in 1964.[4] The family also owns the House of Glenmuick, Ballater, Aberdeenshire.[5]
