Former Wife of a Hereditary Baron
If a marriage between a Baron and Baroness has been dissolved, the former wife (although no longer a peeress) may continue to use her title as a Baroness's wife, preceded by her Christian name (unless she remarries*). This also applies to the former wife of a Lord of Parliament in the peerage of Scotland
