The Edge Baronetcy, of Ribble Lodge in Lytham St Annes in the County Palatine of Lancaster, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.[2] It was created on 9 June 1937, for the Liberal politician Sir William Edge. He represented Bolton and Bosworth in the House of Commons.
Edge baronets, of Ribble Lodge (1937)[edit]
- Sir William Edge, 1st Baronet (1880–1948)[3]
- Sir Knowles Edge, 2nd Baronet (1905–1984)[4]
- William Edge, presumed 3rd Baronet (born 1936)[5]
The presumed third Baronet does not use his title.[5] Also, As of 2007[update], he had not successfully proved his succession to the baronetcy, and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant.[6]
The heir apparent is the present holder's son Edward Knowles Edge (born 1965).
