My copy of Debrett's Correct Form dates from the 1970s, but these stylings haven't changed in centuries so there's no worry about them being off. ^_^
Henry Edward Morrison, upon receiving his baronetcy, becomes Sir Henry Morrison, Bart. ('Bart.' being the old-fashioned abbreviation for baronet.) In conversation, he'd be spoken to and of as 'Sir Henry'; in writing, he would simply sign his name 'Henry Morrison'.
His wife, before her marriage, was the Hon. Josephine Bright, daughter of Lord [Name] (a baron or viscount). Upon her marriage, she became the Hon. Mrs. Morrison, and after her husband received his baronetcy she would have been the Hon. Lady Morrison.
If Wellard's great-uncle doesn't have the family title, he'd be a younger son and would be known as the Hon. Robert Bright.
Wellard's first tutor was a Mr Guillaume Chernait, who taught him french as well as a normal education.
(*snerk* Blame Gen and Sweeney. Mr Chernait is a quiet man with a limp and a perminant sadness for his son. *facepalm*)
Mr Ganderton was the tutor hired by Wellard's Great Uncle, who continued the French, as well as Latin and Greek, and worked a lot on mathematics- up to the starting of Trigonometry.
