The Strachey Baronetcy, of Sutton Court in the County of Somerset, England, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 15 June 1801 for the politician and civil servant Henry Strachey. His great-grandson, the fourth Baronet, was a Liberal politician. On 3 November 1911 he was created Baron Strachie, of Sutton Court in the County of Somerset, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. He later served as Paymaster-General. The peerage became extinct on the death of his son, the second Baron, in 1973. The late Baron was succeeded in the baronetcy by his first cousin once removed, the sixth Baronet. He was the son of John Strachey, son and namesake of John Strachey, second son of the third Baronet. Strachey died January 2014 and did not use his title. Also, he did not successfully proven his succession and was therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant.〔(Baronetcies to which no Succession has been proved ), (The Standing Council of the Baronetage ).〕 Several other members of the Strachey family have also gained distinction. John Strachey, grandfather of the first Baronet, was a noted geologist, while his father, John Strachey (died 1674), was a friend of John Locke. Edward Strachey, second son of the first Baronet, was the father of 1) the civil servant John Strachey, and 2) Lieutenant-General Sir Richard Strachey, who was the father of Lytton Strachey, James Strachey, Oliver Strachey and Dorothy Bussy. The aforementioned John Strachey, second son of the third Baronet, was a noted journalist, while his son John Strachey was a Labour politician. Another son of the third Baronet, Henry Strachey, was a painter and art critic. The family surname is pronounced "Stray-chee". ==Strachey baronets, of Sutton Court (1801)== *Sir Henry Strachey, 1st Baronet (1737–1810) *Sir Henry Strachey, 2nd Baronet (1772–1858) *Sir Edward Strachey, 3rd Baronet (1812–1901) *Sir Edward Strachey, 4th Baronet (1858–1936) (created Baron Strachie in 1911) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Strachey baronets」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
