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 1885 for James Corry, Member of Parliament for Belfast from 1874 to 1885 and Armagh Mid from 1886 to 1891.[2] The 2nd Baronet was a Director of the Cunard Steamship Company.[3]
The Corry family was Scotch-Irish, settled Turnagardy near Newtownards, County Down.[2][4] The title's reference to "Dunraven" is derived from the 1st Baronet's residence in Belfast.[4]
