The 9th Baronet was grandfather of a cricketer
Perhaps so, but WP:PROPORTION. This is not a noteworthy aspect of an account of a baronetcy, that one of their daughters gave birth to a cricketer. This appears actually to be an attempt to shoehorn someone else named Middleton into the article, but such indirect connections carry no weight. Find for me a WP:RS account (along the lines of Cokayne) of the Berney baronets where the author thinks it is noteworthy that one of them had a daughter who was mother of a cricketer and its inclusion would be unquestionably noteworthy, otherwise it's noteworthiness is based solely on an editor liking it, and that isn't good enough, because being related to a cricketer is not really relevant to an account of a title in the Baronetage of England, the subject of this page (as described in the lede).

 * I see  that  the   Lady Henrietta Neville  is  referenced, because  she has  her  own  page. This  is  not  "shoehorning".  I  see that  the  reference  to  Jane  Dorothy  Middleton nee  Berney  is well  researched  and  obviously  relevant;   the  Leeds  Photographic  Archives  also  reference  her  and  her  son  Cecil    who  has  his  own  page.  This  is  entirely understandable  and  makes  sense. 175.33.49.35 (talk) 10:12, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
 * The subject of this article is not the Berney family, it is about the baronets. Hence it is a failure of perspective for the 9th baronet not to even be the subject of the only sentence that refers to him in an article about the bearers of his title. In what sense is the hobby of a grandson of more value than a single biographical detail about the 9th baronet himself, or for that matter the 7th and the 10th, who also just have their place in the succession stated?  We give no other daughters of any of the other 9 baronets, no other grandsons, and we don't even describe the leisure activities of any of those baronets, yet here we just have to tell the reader that the widow of the 9th baronet had a grandson who golfed?  No, completely out of proportion. Agricolae (talk) 11:23, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
