Lawson-Tancred baronets

The Tancred, later Lawson-Tancred Baronetcy, of Boroughbridge in the County of York, is a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 17 November 1662 for Thomas Tancred. He was a descendant of Richard Tankard, who shortly after the Norman Conquest owned lands at Boroughbridge in Yorkshire, where the family remains. The ninth Baronet married Margery Ellinor, eldest daughter and co-heir of Andrew Sherlock Lawson, younger brother of Sir John Grant Lawson, 1st Baronet (see Lawson baronets). In 1914 he assumed by deed poll the additional surname of Lawson.
