The Astley, later Astley-Corbett, later Astley Baronetcy, of Everley in the County of Wiltshire, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 15 August 1821[3] for John Astley, Member of Parliament for Wiltshire and Wiltshire North. He was a descendant of Thomas Astley, younger brother of the first Baronet of Patshull. The third Baronet represented Lincolnshire North in Parliament as a Conservative. He married Eleanor Blanche Mary, daughter of Thomas George Corbett. Their eldest son, Francis, the fourth Baronet, assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Corbett in 1890.[4] His grandson, Francis, the fifth Baronet, was killed in action in World War II.
