The Ricketts Baronetcy, of The Elms [lower-alpha 2] in the county of Gloucester and Beaumont Leys [lower-alpha 3] in the county of Leicester, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 15 February 1828 for Vice-Admiral Robert Ricketts.

Contents

The second Baronet was an admiral in the Royal Navy and appointed High Sheriff of Leicestershire in 1851. He married, firstly, Henrietta Plumbe Tempest in 1834, and, secondly, Lady Caroline Augusta Pelham-Clinton, daughter of Henry Pelham-Clinton, 4th Duke of Newcastle in 1852. [8]

The 3rd Baronet (only child of Henrietta Plumbe Tempest) inherited in 1884 the assets of wealthier aunt and uncle Catherine and Thomas Plumbe-Tempest and assumed by Royal licence the same year the surname of Tempest; thus borne by his son and daughter, who re-assumed it as a condition of her unmarried brother's Will. Tempest and associated wealth would not pass to the 5th baronets onwards, as the 5th was the younger brother of the 3rd baronet. This stands as the only passing of the title into a junior branch. The 9th Baronet is six generations beneath the 1st Baronet.

The National Archives holds papers from 1855-1920 from the family. [9]
