Baron Henniker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The title Baron Henniker, of Stratford-upon-Slaney in County Wicklow, was created in 1800 in the Peerage of Ireland for Sir John Henniker, 2nd Baronet, of Worlingworth, who had previously represented Sudbury and Dover in the House of Commons. The Baronetcy had been created in 1765 for his father-in-law John Major, with special remainder to his son-in-law John. The 4th Baron was created Baron Hartismere, of Hartismere in the County of Suffolk, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1866. The two Baronies and the Baronetcy remain united.
As of 30 June 2006, the present holder of the Baronies has not successfully proven his succession to the Baronetcy and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage. However, the case is under review by the Registrar of the Baronetage (for more information follow this link).
