Browne baronets

There have been ten baronetcies created for persons with the surname Browne (as distinct from Brown and Broun), six in the Baronetage of Great Britain, three in the Baronetage of Ireland and one in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia. Only one creation is extant as of 2010. Three of the creations were for members of the Browne family headed by the Viscount Montagu.

The Browne Baronetcy, of Walcot in the County of Northampton, was created in the Baronetage of England on 21 September 1621 for Robert Browne. He was a descendant of Sir John Browne, Lord Mayor of London in 1480. The title became extinct on the death of the third Baronet in circa 1662.

The Browne Baronetcy, of Molahiffe in the County of Kerry, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 16 February 1622. For more information on this creation, see Earl of Kenmare.

The Browne Baronetcy, of Kishack in the County of Dublin, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 30 March 1622 for Richard Browne, Mayor of Dublin between 1614 and 1615. The title is presumed to have become extinct on the death of the third Baronet in circa 1682.

The Browne Baronetcy, of Betchworth Castle in the County of Surrey, was created in the Baronetage of England on 7 July 1622 for Ambrose Browne, member of parliament for Surrey. The second Baronet also sat as Member of Parliament for Surrey. The title became extinct on his death in 1690. The first Baronet was a descendant of Sir Thomas Browne, Treasurer of the Household to King Henry IV, who was also the ancestor of the Viscounts Montagu. See also the Browne baronets of Kiddington and the Browne baronets of Caversham below.

The Browne Baronetcy, of The Neale in the County of Mayo, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 21 June 1636. For more information on this creation, see Baron Kilmaine. See also the Browne baronets of Palmerston below and the Marquess of Sligo.

The Browne Baronetcy, of Deptford in the County of Kent, was created in the Baronetage of England on 1 September 1649 for Richard Browne, Ambassador to France between 1641 and 1660. The title became extinct on his death in 1683.

The Browne Baronetcy, of Kiddington in the County of Oxford, was created in the Baronetage of England on 1 July 1659 for Henry Browne, with remainder in default of male issue of his own to his brother Francis Browne and the male issue of his body. He was the grandson of the Hon. Sir Henry Browne, younger son of Anthony Browne, 1st Viscount Montagu (see Viscount Montagu and the Browne baronets of Bettesworth Castle above and the Browne baronets of Caversham below). Despite the special remainder, Browne was succeeded by his son, the second Baronet. The title became extinct on the death of the latter's son, the third Baronet, in 1754.
