Raeburn baronets explained
The Raeburn Baronetcy, of Helensburgh in the County of Dunbarton, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 25 July 1923 for William Raeburn. He was head of the firm of Raeburn & Verel, Ltd, and also represented Dunbartonshire in the House of Commons as a Unionist. The fourth Baronet does not use his title.
Sir Digby Raeburn (1915–2001), son of Sir Ernest Manifold Raeburn (1878–1922), second son of the first Baronet, was a major general in the Scots Guards and Governor of the Tower of London.
Raeburn Baronets, of Helensburgh (1923)
- Sir William Hannay Raeburn, 1st Baronet (1850 – 12 February 1934)
- Sir William Norman Raeburn, 2nd Baronet (1877–1947)
- Sir Edward Alfred Raeburn, 3rd Baronet (1919–1977)
- Michael Edward Norman Raeburn, 4th Baronet (Born 1954) As mentioned above, I do not actually use the title. This is due to being a Benedictine Oblate for the last 33 years and therefore use of the title would be out of place. I therefore prefer to use 'Obl.S.B.' after my Name.
- Heir: Martin Phillip Raeburn (born 1989)
