That would be Lucinda, born in 1950. A dab hand with the cinematographics.
As has been said earlier, the daughters of barons bear the title Honourable. The same rules apply as for the daughters of viscounts. The title is never used in speech, even by a servant.
The eldest daughter of a baron would be referred to in speech as:
Miss Buxton. (Lucinda, born 1950). (Two sons four daughters for the good baron.)
The younger daughters as, for example, Miss Victoria Buxton. (Born 1960?)

If the daughter of a baron marries a man of lower rank, she may keep her title thus:
The Honble. Mrs Jackson.

But the title 'Lady'. No possibility. Don't be too impressed with Spanish Athleticism. That sort of nonsense fooled the Americans for years, Nancy Astor and all that.
If Victoria Jane Buxton is the daughter of Baron Buxton of Alsa and Mary Oakes, she may be entitled to have her envelopes addressed as to: The Honble, but she most certainly is not entitled to be known by the title 'Lady'.

Rather a bad week, what?
No type ratings. No titles.
Sounds like: 'Bootsie and Snudge' qv.
