Baronetcy in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom
There have been three
baronetcies
created for persons with the surname
Denny
, one in the
Baronetage of England
, one in the
Baronetage of Ireland
and one in the
Baronetage of the United Kingdom
. As of 2014 two of the creations are extant.
The
Denny Baronetcy
, of Gillingham in the County of Norfolk, was created in the Baronetage of England on 3 June 1642 for William Denny. The title became extinct on his death in 1676.
The
Denny Baronetcy
, of Castle Moyle (
sic
) in the County of Kerry, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 12 January 1782 for Barry Denny.
[1]
He was a descendant of
Sir Anthony Denny
, confidant of
King Henry VIII
. Burke's Peerage 1934 states that the
letters patent
creating the baronetcy were in error giving the title as of "Castle Moyle", instead of "Castle More" signifying
Tralee Castle
, the family seat in
County Kerry
. The second Baronet was about to be raised to the peerage when he was killed in a
duel
in 1794. The third and fourth Baronets represented
Tralee
in the
House of Commons
. The sixth Baronet was a founder of the
North-West Mounted Police
in
Canada
, Indian agent and author. The third son of the seventh Baronet was the artist
Robyn Denny
. The
Denny Earls of Norwich
were members of another branch of the family.
The
Denny Baronetcy
, of Dumbarton in the County of Dunbarton, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 16 June 1913 for the naval architect and shipbuilder
Archibald Denny
.
[2]
He was a Director of William Denny & Brothers Ltd, shipbuilders and engineers, of
Dumbarton
. The second Baronet was President of William Denny & Brothers Ltd. The third Baronet was Chairman of the Air Registration Board.
