Comment

Viscount D'Abernon, of Esher and of Stoke d'Abernon in the County of Surrey, was a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 20 February 1926 for the politician, diplomat and writer Edgar Vincent, 1st Baron D'Abernon who had been created Baron D'Abernon, of Esher in the County of Surrey, on 2 July 1914. In 1936 he succeeded his elder brother as sixteenth Baronet, of Stoke d'Abernon. All three titles became extinct on his death in 1941.

The Vincent Baronetcy, of Stoke d'Abernon in the County of Surrey, was created in the Baronetage of England on 26 July 1620 for Francis Vincent.

Election of six of the baronets as MP

The first Baronet was elected after receipt of his title to represent Surrey in the House of Commons. The third Baronet sat as Member of Parliament (MP) for Dover, the fifth and seventh Baronets for Surrey, the sixth Baronet for Guildford and the tenth Baronet for St Albans. A baronetcy is an old title short of a UK peerage (that enables peers to sit in the House of Lords) but instead carries with it the style of 'Sir'.
