Grey Baronets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There have been three Baronetcies created for members of the Grey family. The first Grey Baronetcy, of Chillingham in the County of Northumberland, was created in the Baronetage of England in 1619 for William Grey. He was later raised to the peerage as Baron Grey of Werke. The second Grey Baronetcy, of Howick in the County of Northumberland, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain in 1746 for Henry Grey. He was a descendant of an uncle of the first Baronet of the 1619 creation. Henry Grey's third son, the third Baronet, had already been created Earl Grey when he succeeded his elder brother in 1808. The third Grey Baronetcy, of Fallodon in the County of Northumberland, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom in 1814 for the soldier George Grey. He was the second son of the first Earl Grey. His son, the second Baronet, and great-grandson, the third Baronet, were both prominent Liberal politicians. The latter was raised to the peerage as Viscount Grey of Fallodon, in the County of Northumberland, but this title became extinct on his death.
