Currie Baronets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Currie Baronetcy is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 11 January 1847 for Frederick Currie. He was Foreign Secretary to the Indian Government and a member of the Supreme Council of India. The presumed sixth Baronet never successfully proved his succession and was never on the Official Roll of the Baronetage. As of 2007 the presumed seventh and 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 1978.

Another member of the Currie family to gain distinction was Fendall Currie, sixth son of the first Baronet. He was a Major-General in the Army.
