The child of a baronet would not have a courtesy title or honourific, but his/her parents would be Sir John Blank and Lady Blank.

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.
