Sir Grenville Louis John Temple, self-styled 12th baronet
The following article appeared in 'The Washington Post' of 12 December 1919:-
'No little American interest pertained to the pretensions of Grenville Louis Temple, who has
just died at Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, as a member of the famous Northwest Mounted
Police, to the ancient baronetcy of Temple of Stowe, one of the very firdt created by James I,
dating from the year 1611. A former officer of the Twentieth regiment of infantry of the British
army, he succeeded his father as twelfth baronet of his line as a 2-year-old boy in 1860, and
bore the title without any interruption until 1910 - that is to say, for exactly half a century - 
when the warrant, signed by Edward VII only a few weeks before his death, came into force.
'This edict decreed that an official record of the Order of Baronets should be prepared and 
kept at the home department and that no person whose name was not comprised on the roll
should be officially acknowledged or addressed as a baronet. By the same warrant the late
king appointed a royal commission for the examination of all claims to inscription on the roll,
and this resulted in the disappearance of a number of baronets with doubtful titles from the
1911 edition of Burke's, Debrett's, Lodge's, Whittaker's [sic] and other standard works of
reference, more or less semi-official, devoted to the enumeration of peerages, baronetcies
and knighthoods.
'Among the baronets who thus disappeared from the scene was 'Sir' Grenville Louis Temple, of
Stowe, to whose family three entire pages of "Burke's" were devoted in its volume for 1910
and in its previous issues. The house of Temple is a very ancient one, being descended from
Earl Leofric and his countess, the famous Lady Godiva, who is said to have ridden in the garb
of Mother Eve through the streets of Coventry, unseen by any man save Peeping Tom.
'Other descendants of Leofric and of the original Lady Godiva have been Robert Temple, lord
of the manor of Temple, in Leicestershire, in the reign of Henry III, and Peter Temple, who
obtained from Edward VI a grant of the Manor of Stowe, in Buckinghamshire, as well as his
grandson, Thomas Temple of Stowe, who was created a baronet by James I in 1611. Sir
Thomas had thirteen children, and Fuller, in his "Worthies of England," relates that Lady
Temple lived to see no less than 700 of her own descendants.
'When Sir Richard Temple, the 7th baronet, died without issue in 1786, George Temple, Marquis
of Buckingham and father of the first Duke of Buckingham and Chandos, as the member of the
Temple family highest in rank and as owner of Stowe, addressed a letter to his kinsman John
Temple, a native of Boston, Mass., and at the time British consul general for the United States
residing in New York, announcing to him formally that the Temple baronetcy had devolved
upon him (the consul general) as next in the line of succession and as a descendant of the
Rev. Dr. Thomas Temple, third son of the first baronet.
'The consul general in consequence thereof assumed the title of "Sir John Temple, bart."
Lord Buckingham further informing him that he had taken care to convey the news to Lord
Carmarthen, then secretary of state, so that the consul general should be addressed as "Sir
John " in all official communications.
'Sir John married a daughter of James Bowdoin, governor of the State of Massachusetts, and
one of his daughters, Elizabeth, married Thomas Winthrop, also governor of Massachusetts.
'Sir John was succeeded in the baronetcy by his son Grenville, a native of Boston, and who
married as his first wife a daughter of Col. George Watson of that city and secondly Maria,
daughter of Sir Thomas Rumbold. The tenth baronet married Mary Baring, niece of Lord
Ashburton and the "Sir" Grenville Temple who has just passed away at Prince Albert,
Saskatchewan, was his grandson and heir.
'Now, if the Marquis of Buckingham insisted upon Consul General John Temple assuming the
baronetcy of Temple of Stowe in 1786, it is because he believed that as a descendant of
the Rev. Dr. Thomas Temple, third son of the first baronet, the consul general was the
senior heir. This would undoubtedly have been correct had the whole issue of the baronet's
second son become extinct. This, however, was not the case.
'It was subsequently shown there were several descendants in the male line from the second
son of the first baronet, and if the royal commission on the baronetage appointed by King
Edward to investigate the rights of baronets to their dignities before placing these on the
official register turned down the late "Sir" Grenville Louis Temple, of the Northwest mounted
police, in 1910, it was because he could not furnish them with satisfactory proofs that all the
male descendants of the second son of the first baronet had become extinct. Being far from
rich, he realized it would involve far too costly expenditure to secure proof of the extinction
of these Temple descendants whose rights were prior to his own, and so he preferred to 
abandon the title without any further efforts to retain it.'
During the period 'Sir' Grenville was living in Saskatchewan, an imposter, whose real name
was William Runciman, posed as Sir Grenville Temple and married at least two women
before being unmasked and sentenced to five years' imprisonment.
Sir Charles Tennant, 1st baronet
Sir Charles was the grandson of Charles Tennant (1768-1838), a Scottish chemist and 
industrialist who discovered bleaching powder and built a massive industrial empire in Scotland.
Sir Charles was reputed to be the richest commoner in Scotland during the nineteenth
century. His company dominated the local economy around the St. Rollox area of Glasgow
and the huge chimney of his chemical works (known as Tennant's Stalk) was, at 455 feet,
one of the tallest structures in the world until it was struck by lightning in 1922 and had to
be demolished.
Sir Charles' virility appears to have matched his business success. He married twice; firstly in
1849 to Emma Winsloe, who died in 1895, and secondly in 1898 to Marguerite Miles. Several of
his children became successful in their own right - his eldest son was created Baron 
Glenconner in 1911; another son, Harold, was a cabinet minister during WW1, a daughter, 
Margot, married Herbert Asquith, later Prime Minister and Earl of Oxford and Asquith and 
another daughter was created a life peer as Baroness Elliot of Harwood in 1958. The time 
period between the birth of his oldest and youngest children was nearly 44 years, a record 
that very few would have equalled. The period between the birthdate of Sir Charles and the
date of death of his daughter, Baroness Elliot of Harwood of 170 years (4 November 1823 
to 3 January 1994) would also be difficult to beat.
