Brooksbank Baronets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Brooksbank Baronetcy, of Healaugh Manor in the County of York, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 15 September 1919 for Edward Brooksbank. He was a Justice of the Peace and a Deputy Lieutenant for the West Riding of Yorkshire. He was succeeded by his grandson, the second Baronet (the son of Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Brooksbank, eldest son of the first Baronet). He was a Colonel in the Yorkshire Yeomanry and also served as a Justice of the Peace and as a Deputy Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire. As of 2007 the title is held by his son, the third Baronet, who succeeded in 1983.
Stamp Brooksbank (1694-1756), great-great-great-grandfather of the first Baronet, was Governor of the Bank of England from 1741 to 1743 and represented Saltash and Colchester in the House of Commons.
