“SIR ANTHONY LECHMERE, who has just obtained the dignity of Baronet of the United Kingdom, is not the senior branch of the LECHMERES, but only the son by a second wife, of the late EDMUND LECHMERE, Esq. of Hanley Castle, in the county of Worcester, who by his first wife, EMMA, the sister of Sir Francis CHARLTON, Bart. Of Ludford, in the county of Hereford, had two sons, the elder of whom (now deceased) by letters patent, added the names and arms of his maternal uncle, CHARLTON, whose estates he inherited in addition to those of Lechmere, both of which he bequeathed to his son, the present possessor. Sir ANTHONY LECHMERE is Receiver-General for the county of Worcester, and a banker in that city.”
