Jaffray baronets
The Jaffray Baronetcy, of Skilts in the Parish of Studley in the County of Warwick, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 8 October 1892 for the journalist and newspaper proprietor John Jaffray.[2] He was the co-founder of the Birmingham Post and Birmingham Mail.
The 2nd Baronet was High Sheriff of Warwickshire in 1906. The 4th Baronet, Sir William Edmund Jaffray, was a Colonel in the Warwickshire Yeomanry and a deputy lieutenant of Warwickshire.[3]
The 5th Baronet succeeded to the title as an infant on his father's death.[4] He was educated at Eton and in 1981 married Cynthia Ross Corrington, a daughter of John Corrington III, of Montreal. They had three sons and a daughter but later divorced. Nicholas Gordon Alexander Jaffray (born 1982) became the 6th Baronet, upon the death of his father in 2026.[5][6]
