Lawson Baronets, of Brayton (1831)

The Lawson Baronetcy, of Brayton in the County of Cumberland, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 30 September 1831 for Wilfrid Lawson. Born Wilfrid Wybergh, he was the son of Thomas Wyberg by the sister of the tenth Baronet of the 1688 creation (see above). He assumed by Royal license the surname of Lawson in lieu of his patronymic. The second and third Baronets were both Members of Parliament. The title became extinct on the death of the fourth Baronet in 1959.
