Burrard baronets

rdf:langString Burrard baronets

rdf:langString There have been two baronetcies created for members of the Burrard family, one in the Baronetage of Great Britain and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. Both creations are extinct. The Burrard, later Burrard-Neale, later Burrard Baronetcy, of Walhampton in the County of Southampton, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 3 April 1769 for Harry Burrard, for many years Member of Parliament for Lymington, with remainder failing heirs male of his own to his brothers. He was the son of Paul Burrard and the grandson of , who both represented Lymington in Parliament. Burrard outlived all of his four sons and was succeeded according to the special remainder by his nephew, Harry, the second Baronet, the son of Lieutenant-Colonel William Burrard. Sir Harry was an admiral in the Royal Navy and also represented Lymington in Parliament. In 1795 he adopted the additional surname of Neale on his marriage to Grace, daughter of Robert Neale, of Shaw House, Wiltshire. He was succeeded by his younger brother George, the third Baronet (who like the subsequent baronets used the surname Burrard only). He was a clergyman and served as Chaplain in Ordinary to Queen Victoria for 38 years. On his death the title passed to his son, George, the fourth Baronet, who sat as Member of Parliament for Lymington. He was childless and was succeeded by his half-brother, Harry, the fifth Baronet. The latter went bankrupt and the Walhampton estate was sold in 1883. He was succeeded by his cousin, Sidney, the seventh Baronet, the son of Colonel Sidney Burrard, younger son of the third Baronet. He was Surveyor General of India between 1911 and 1919. The title became extinct on the death of his son, the eighth Baronet, in 1965. The Burrard Baronetcy, of Lymington in the County of Southampton, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 12 November 1807 for Harry Burrard, a general in the British Army and Member of Parliament for Lymington. He was the nephew of the first Baronet of Walhampton and consequently in remainder to that title (see above for earlier history of the family). His son, the second Baronet, was an admiral in the Royal Navy. The title became extinct on his death in 1870.
