Edwards-Moss baronets

Summary

The Edwards-Moss Baronetcy, of Roby Hall in the parish of Huyton-cum-Roby in the County Palatine of Lancaster, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.[3] It was created on 23 December 1868 for Thomas Edwards-Moss. Born Thomas Moss, he had assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Edwards in 1851, having married Amy Charlotte, daughter and heiress of Richard Edwards of Roby Hall, Lancashire. The presumed fifth Baronet does not use his title. As of 2021 he had not successfully proven his succession, and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant.[2]
