Morris Baronets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There have been four Baronetcies created for persons with the surname Morris, all in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.

The Morris Baronetcy, of Clasemont in the County of Glamorgan, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 12 May 1806 for the Welsh industrialist John Morris. The ninth Baronet was a painter and horticulturalist. The presumed tenth Baronet never successfully proved his succession and was never on the Official Roll of the Baronetage. The presumed eleventh and present Baronet has also not successfully proven his succession and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant since 1982.

The Morris Baronetcy was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 14 September 1885. For more information on this creation, see the Baron Killanin.

The Morris Baronetcy, of Cavendish Square, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 24 July 1909 for Henry Morris. The title became extinct on his death in 1926.

The Morris Baronetcy was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 27 March 1929. For more information on this creation, see the Viscount Nuffield.
