Clifford Baronets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are a few baronetcies created in the Clifford family.

The title of Baronet Clifford of Flaxbourne, New Zealand was created for a grand-nephew of the 4th Baron Clifford of Chudleigh (and nephew of the 1st Baronet Clifford-Constable of Tixall, Staffordshire) on July 16, 1887 in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom and still exists.

The title of Baronet Clifford of the Navy was created for the illegitimate son of the 5th Duke of Devonshire (as son of the 5th Baroness Clifford and himself the 6th one) on August 4, 1838 in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It has become extinct at the death of the 4th baronet on November 22, 1895.

There is a third baronetcy that was created for a member of the Clifford family: Baronet Clifford-Constable of Tixall, Staffordshire, which only had three baronets until it became extinct.
