Sir William Gull, 1st Baronet
The Gull Baronetcy, of Brook Street in the parish of St George Hanover Square in the County of Middlesex, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 8 February 1872 for the physician William Gull.[1] The baronetcy was conferred on him for his services to the Prince of Wales during his severe illness in the winter of 1871. The second Baronet represented Barnstaple in the House of Commons as a Liberal Unionist from 1895 to 1900. The Standing Council of the Baronetage is reviewing the succession of the title and who the heir is.
