The Frankland baronetcy, of Thirkelby (or Thirkleby) in the County of York, is a title in the Baronetage of England, created on 24 December 1660 for William Frankland.[1] He later represented Thirsk in Parliament.
He was succeeded by his nephew, the fourth Baronet, who notably served as Consul-General in Lisbon. The fourth Baronet's younger brother, the fifth Baronet, was an Admiral of the White and also represented Thirsk in Parliament for over 30 years.
He was succeeded in the Baronetcy but not in the estates by his cousin, the eighth Baronet. He was the son of the youngest son of the fifth Baronet. Frankland notably fought at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815.
His grandson, the tenth Baronet, married as his second wife Mary Cecil Frankland, 16th Baroness Zouche (see the Baron Zouche). He was succeeded by his eldest son, the eleventh Baronet, and on the latter's death in 1944 the title passed to his only son, the twelfth and present holder of the Baronetcy. In 1965 he succeeded his grandmother as eighteenth Baron Zouche. Consequently, the Baronetcy is now a subsidiary title of the Barony of Zouche.
