Rolleston-Martin baronets
The Gaudin-Martin, later Rolleston-Martin Baronetcy, of Dublin, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 29 May 1885 for Richard Martin, a British Colonial administrator. In May 1885, prior to the creation of the letters patent for his baronetcy, he assumed the additional surname of Gaudin, which was that of his wife. The present baronet replaced this name with his wife's name of Rolleston in 1978. As of 2012 he lives in Dunedin, New Zealand but has not yet registered his succession to the baronetcy, so has yet to appear on the Official Roll of the Baronetage.

The current family surname is pronounced "Roll-ston-Martin".
