Only Complete Baronetage by GEC himself; but he had a cut-off date of,
IIRC, 1800.

However Burke treats of baronets; if the title is still going, you'll
find it in the latest Burke's Peerage. Otherwise you have to go back to
the Burke volume of the year or so before the last holder died. To be
found in all "good libraries"...

Having said all that, 1812 is a bit late for medieval and is
therefore "off-topic".
