The presumed third Baronet does not use his title.[5] Also, As of 2007, he had not successfully proved his succession to the baronetcy, and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant.[6]

The heir apparent is the present holder's son Edward Knowles Edge (born 1965).
