Line 4:
[[Sir Charles ffrench, 1st Baronet]] (cr.1779), who was later Mayor of [[Galway]]. He died in 1784.
 
In 1798, Lady ffrench was created '''Baroness ffrench''', of Castle ffrench, County Galway in recognition of the services of her son, [[Thomas ffrench, 2nd Baron ffrench|Sir Thomas ffrench, 2nd Bt.]], who was a member of the Catholic Committee. Because she was nominally [[Protestant]], the creation was in keeping with [[George III of the United Kingdom|King George III's]] objection to elevating [[Roman Catholicism|Catholics]] to the peerage. Upon her decease, her Catholic son [[Thomas ffrench, 2nd Baron ffrench|Sir Thomas]] inherited the barony.
 
The title and the family name are both spelled with a [[List of Latin digraphs#F|lower-case double-'f']].
Upon her decease, her Catholic son [[Thomas ffrench, 2nd Baron ffrench|Sir Thomas]] inherited the barony.
