Lucas-Tooth baronets
There have been two baronetcies created for persons with the surname Lucas-Tooth, both in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.
History
The Lucas-Tooth Baronetcy, of Queen's Gate, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 26 July 1906 for the brewer Robert Lucas-Tooth. Born Robert Tooth, he had assumed by Royal license the additional surname of Lucas (which was that of his maternal grandfather) in 1904. He was succeeded by his youngest son, the second Baronet. Like his two elder brothers, he was killed in the First World War. None of the brothers left male issue. Consequently, the baronetcy became extinct on the second Baronet's death in 1918.
The Lucas-Tooth Baronetcy, of Bught in the County of Inverness, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 1 December 1920 for the seventeen-year-old Hugh Lucas-Tooth. He was the son of Major Hugh Warrand and his wife Beatrice Maude, eldest daughter of the first Baronet of the 1906 creation. The baronetcy was created with remainder, failing male issue of the body of the grantee, to the other heirs male of the body of his mother. Born Hugh Warrand, he assumed by Royal license the surname of Lucas-Tooth in lieu of his patronymic in 1920. Lucas-Tooth later became a successful Conservative politician. In 1965 he assumed for himself only the additional surname of Munro.
