The Lawrence baronetcy, of Lucknow, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 10 August 1858 for Alexander Hutchinson Lawrence. The title was in honour of the services of his father Sir Henry Montgomery Lawrence, who died during the Siege of Lucknow in 1857. There was a special remainder, failing male issue of his own, to his younger brother Henry Waldemar Lawrence, and his heirs. [1]
The heir apparent is the present holder's son Christopher Cosmo Lawrence (born 1979). [7]
