Raeburn Baronets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Raeburn Baronetcy, of Helensburgh in the County of Dunbarton, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 25 July 1923 for William Raeburn. He was head of the firm of Raeburn & Verel, Ltd, and also represented Dunbartonshire in the House of Commons as a Unionist. The fourth Baronet does not use his title.

Sir Digby Raeburn (1915-2001), son of Sir Ernest Raeburn (1878-1922), second son of the first Baronet, was a Major-General in the Scots Guards and Governor of the Tower of London.

  • Sir William Hannay Raeburn, 1st Baronet (1850 12 Feb 1934
  • Sir William Norman Raeburn, 2nd Baronet (1877-1947)
  • Sir Edward Alfred Raeburn, 3rd Baronet (1919-1977)
  • (Sir) Michael Edward Norman Raeburn, 4th Baronet (b. 1954)
  • (heir - wishes to abdicate or not receive the title however as Christopher believes all people are equal in terms of their right to human dignity and so repudiates the peerage and baronetcy system and includes in that a belief that Great Britain should be a republic and not a monarchy on the grounds that the people do not elect each monarch and seeing no right merely based on birth). Christopher Edward Alfred Raeburn (b. 1981) who came to forgive Michael for the great amount of violence Michael (does not use title) used against his wife, sons (including Christopher) and daughters (and against Michael's wife when she was pregnant with two other children who were stillborn) and wishes Michael had got some help as it could have averted everything. Christopher also is bipolar (though the suspicion that Michael is only a guess) and realises how much therapy helped Christopher. Christopher also forgives Michael for the accusations Michael made against Christopher in relation to Christopher's mother as well as other such accusations in the summer when Michael left where Michael had previously lived. However, Christopher notifies Michael that Christopher is speaking only for Christopher and not for anyone else nor, as Christopher does not live in Christopher's childhood home and is abroad, does Christopher give permission for Christopher to contact anyone else using this as a pretext as Michael cannot suppose the views of any other of Christopher's mother, brother, and sisters. On a personal basis, Michael Raeburn is forgiven for the above and for everything else that needs to be (i.e. a clean slate).
