Cayzer Baronets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There have been three baronetcies created for people with the surname Cayzer, each in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom and each for members of the same family .
The Cayzer Baronetcy, of Gartmore in the County of Perth, was created on 12 December 1904 for the businessman and Conservative Member of Parliament Charles William Cayzer who had made his fortune in the shipping business. He had previously represented Barrow-in-Furness in the House of Commons. The third Baronet sat as a Conservative Member of Parliament for Chester.

The Cayzer Baronetcy, of Roffey Park in the County of Sussex, was created on 17 January 1921 for August Bernard Tellefsen Cayzer, the third son of Sir Charles Cayzer, 1st Baronet, of Gartmore. His son, the second Baronet, was created a life peer as Baron Cayzer, of St Mary Axe in the City of London. However, on his death in 1999 both titles became extinct.
