Corry baronets
The Corry Baronetcy, of Dunraven in the County of Antrim, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.[1] It was created on 10 September 1883 for James Corry, Conservative Member of Parliament for Belfast and Armagh Mid. The second Baronet was a Director of the Cunard Steamship Company. As of 31 January 2014 the present Baronet has not successfully proven his succession and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant since 2000.[2]
The Corry family is of Scottish descent but settled near Newtownards, County Down in the early 17th century. The title's reference to "Dunraven" is derived from the first baronet's residence on the Malone Road, Belfast.
