			Sir John Stirling, 5th baronet [NS 1666] and his wife
			The following romantic tale of the marriage of Sir John Stirling, 5th baronet, appeared in the
			Hobart "Mercury" of 5 June 1871:-
			'The following story of a young Canadian girl is told by the St.Mary's Vidette:- Many years ago
			a young man made his appearance in Stratford [in what is now Ontario in Canada], and spent
			a few weeks at the tavern which then existed to afford shelter to stage-coach travellers.
			Whence he came, and what his business, none could guess. Directly opposite the tavern stood
			a small cottage and forge of a blacksmith named Folsom [some sources say Folsome or Tolson].
			He had a daughter who was the beauty of the village, and it was her fortune to captivate the
			heart of the young stranger. He told his love, said that he was travelling incognito, but in
			confidence gave her his real name, claiming that he was heir to a large fortune. She returned
			his love, and they were married. A few weeks thereafter the stranger told his wife that he must
			visit New Orleans: he did so, and the gossips of the town made the young wife unhappy by
			disagreeable hints and jeers. In a few months the husband returned , but before a week had
			elapsed he received a large budget of letters, and told his wife he must at once return to
			England, and must go alone. He took his departure and the gossips had another glorious
			opportunity to make a confiding woman wretched. To all but herself it was a clear case of
			desertion. The wife became a mother, and for two years lived on in silence and hope. By the
			end of that time a letter was received by the Stratford beauty from her husband, directing
			her at once to go to New York with her child, taking nothing with her but the clothes she wore.
			and embark in a ship for her home in England. On arrival in New York, she found a ship
			splendidly furnished with every convenience and luxury for her comfort, and two servants ready
			to obey every wish she might express. The ship duly arrived in England, and the Stratford girl
			became the mistress of a superb mansion, and, as the wife of a baronet, was saluted by the
			aristocracy as Lady Samuel [sic] Stirling. On the death of her husband, many years ago, the
			Stratford boy succeeded to the title and wealth of his father, and in the last edition of "The
			Peerage and Baronetage," he is spoken of as the issue of "Miss Folsom, of Stratford, North
			America." '
			Early editions of Burke's Peerage state that, by his wife, Sir John had a very numerous family.
			In Playfair's "Baronetage" [1811] it is said that by her he had "19 children in the first 18 years
			of their marriage." [!] The timing of the marriage of Sir John and his wife, who is named as
			Gloryanah in "The Complete Baronetage," is debateable - "The Complete Baronetage" has it as
			"apparently before 1771" with a second ceremony taking place in Glasgow in January 1774.
			Lady Stirling died 4 January 1826.
			*************************************
			Following the death of the 9th baronet in 1949, the article below appeared in the 'Los Angeles
			Times' on 5th May 1949:-
			'An American underatker today emerged as the probable heir to a 300-year-old Scottish
			baronetcy. The claim of Robert Wilson Stirling, 58, of Indianapolis, was certified by none other
			than Debrett's Peerage.
			'Sir George Murray Home Stirling, the 9th baronet, died Sunday [1 May 1949].
			'Some of the other baronets were a bit startled by the news from Debrett's. Undertakers are
			rare in the aristocracy of this land. "Indeed, I shouls day that he must be our first one," said
			C.F.J. Hankinson, who as editor of Debrett's is the No. 1 authority on British blue blood.
			'There is very strong evidence - almost conclusive, Hankinson said - that the title will go to
			Indianapolis. Sir George, who was 80, had only one son, Capt. George Archibald, and he was
			killed in the war. The male closest to the title, it was established after long inquiry, is a grand-
			child of the 5th baronet - the undertaker in Indianapolis.
			'At Indianapolis, Stirling, 58, said he isn't going to give up his American citizenship to become
			a Scottish baronet. "I've always been an undertaker," he added. "I'm happy here. I wouldn't
			consider going over there to live."
			This statement must have gladdened the heart of one of his relations, since, according to
			'The Washington Post' of 6 May 1949:-
			Undertaker Robert W. Stirling declared today that he's "just as blue-blooded" as the Scottish
			spinster who doesn't want him to have a baronetcy.
			'And if she wants to fight, why, he'll fight that too, he said.
			'Stirling's pride was aroused when he was told Elizabeth Stirling, daughter of the late Sir
			George Stirling, 9th baronet of Glorat, had scoffed at him as an heir.
			'Stirling, who has never been in Scotland, inherited the baronetcy when Sir George, his first
			cousin [sic] died Sunday. The peerage [sic] goes to male heirs only.
			'The Indianapolis mortician said he would forego the title if it meant giving up his citizenship.
			But authorities in London said he could become Sir Robert Stirling as is.
			'Elizabeth Stirling said in Scotland that her cousin will have to wait a long time before he takes
			over the stately home with its 4000-acre estate. "Good heavens," she said, "we Stirlings are
			one of the oldest families in this part of Scotland. Why, we've been here since 1508 in this very
			house. Do you think we are going to turn the whole thing over to some undertaker from
			Indianapolis, Ohio, or wherever it is?"
			'Stirling said that if Miss Stirling wanted to take that attitude, he would fight for his rights. He
			said he understood the estate was valued at $1,000,000, but said that much money would
			"worry me to death."
			As the baronetcy currently appears on the Standing Council of the Baronetage's listing of
			baronetcies to which no succession has been proved, it seems that the undertaker was true
			to his word and never sought to take up the title.
			Sir Walter William Strickland, 9th baronet
			Sir Walter was known as the 'anarchist baronet,' due to his revolutionary ideals. As a young
			man he had lived in India, Ceylon, Java and Singapore, and had travelled extensively in Russia,
			where he appears to have acquired his anarchist beliefs. He is described as 'an extraordinary
			character, a scholar, anarchist, and gypsy. For thirty years he wandered over the world,
			botanizing, translating Horace and Moliere, getting into trouble with most civilized governments,
			and writing violent pamphlets and verses against established things.'
			His name was often in the newspapers by reason of his constant disappearances. It was said
			that during his whole life, he spent only one week in London. He once declared that he had
			hidden himself on the Continent because he had received a warning from 'an absolutely reliable
			source' that powerful officials were plotting his assassination. In a letter to a London newspaper
			Sir Walter declared that 'the vulgar, ungentlemanly, and, indeed, murderous persecution to
			which I have been subjected is exclusively British.'
			Once, in Vienna, he was mistakenly arrested in the belief that he was a wanted murderer. Sir
			Walter commented that 'this was a great compliment, since the wanted man was described as
			extremely handsome and aristocratic looking.' A series of newspaper reports just prior to WW1
			comment on his disappearance, only to be followed a short time later by further reports that
			he had been located - at various points he was in the south of France, Spain (where he refused
			to disclose his address for 'political reasons') and Geneva.
			In January 1923, Sir Walter announced that he had become a citizen of Czechoslovakia, and
			that he had dropped the use of his title. In 1931, he moved to Java where he died in 1938. His
			will was typically eccentric. It stated that, for the first 21 years after his death, his estate was
			to be used in publishing various manuscripts left by him. After the completion of the 21 years,
			'the income is to be paid to a Buddhist society to found a chair or laboratory of physics on
			Buddhist lines at such university or place not in the British Islands; to found a chair or
			laboratory of practical psychology on similar conditions; any surplus income to be used for
			propaganda purposes in the spread of Buddhism.'
			Sir Charles Norman Lockhart Stronge, 8th baronet
			Sir Charles sat in the Northern Ireland Parliament between 1938 and 1969 and was Speaker
			the Northern Ireland Parliament between 1945 and 1969. He, together with his son and heir,
			was assassinated by the IRA in 1981.
			The following report appeared in 'The Times' on 23 January 1981:-
			'The Provisional IRA announced yesterday that it killed Sir Norman Stronge, former Speaker of
			the Northern Ireland Parliament, and his son James on Wednesday night in reprisal for killings by
			"loyalist" gangs,
			'Sir Norman, aged 86, and his son, a bachelor aged 48, were shot at point-blank range in the
			library of the family home, Tynan Abbey, a mile from the border in South Armagh. Most of the
			home was left in ruins after the killers set off at least two incendiary bombs.
			'An intensive search on both sides of the border continued throughout yesterday without
			success.
			'The IRA said in a statement in Belfast: "This deliberate attack on the symbols of hated
			Unionism was a direct reprisal for a whole series of loyalist assassinations and murder attacks
			on nationalist people and nationalist activities.
			'That was a reference to the attempt to murder Mrs. Bernadette McAliskey, the former MP,
			and her husband Michael at their remote home in co. Tyrone on Friday, as well as the murder
			of four leading republican acrivists since last May: Mrs, Miriam Daly, Mr. John Turnly, Mr. Noel
			Lyttle and Mr. Ronald Bunting.
			'Sir Norman and his son let off flares from the house after the killers had burst open the door
			with an explosive device, and the bright light alerted the police.
			'At least ten terrorists were involved in the operation, which began when two families were
			held captive in the village of Tynan. Other terrorists used their cars to drive to the abbey,
			built in 1790 and set in 900 acres of farm and woodland.
			'The police arrived as the killers were escaping in the stolen cars. One vehicle was rammed
			by a police car and a 10-minute gun battle followed. There would have been police casualties
			but for the armour plate and bullet-resistant glass in their vehicles.
			'Some of the police returned fire, using high-powered Armalite rifles and hand guns. The
			killers ran across the fields in the pitch darkness towards the border.
			'The terrorists were wearing black berets and combat gear, typical of the IRA. They did not
			wear masks and their age was estumated at around 23.
			'Helicopters with searchlights were brought in by the Army, when reports of the attack came
			through. Police in the Irish Republic set up roadblocks and within a short time hundreds of men
			were involved in the search.
			'Almost every section of opinion in Ireland yesterday condemned the murders, but the IRA said:
			"For us, the decision to take such reprisals represents a real departure, no matter how sections
			of the media and the politicians have attempted to misconstrue, with a sectarian label, IRA
			attacks on the Royal Ulster Constabulary and Ulster Defence Regiment. Our operations against
			these targets have been based on their involvement in the Crown forces, But our decision to
			take reprisals for the activities of loyalist paramilitaries is being taken on a political basis. The
			responsibilty for reprisals rests four square on their shoulders."
			Although Sir Norman and his son were killed in the same attack, the law assumed that Sir
			Norman, being the older party, had died first, with the result that James Stronge was assumed
			to have succeeded to the baronetcy, even if only for a few seconds. For a discussion on such
			circumstances, see the note under the Barons Stamp in the peerage pages.
			Sir Mark Masterman Sykes, 3rd Baronet of Sledmere, Yorkshire [created 1783]
			Sir Mark was involved in an interesting legal case in 1812 which was reported in 'The Weekly
			Entertainer and West of England Miscellany' on 6 April 1812:-
			'A curious trial, in which the Rev. R. Gilbert was plaintiff and Sir M.M. Sykes, Bart., M.P.,
			defendant, came on at the York Assizes, for the recovery of a bet on the life on Buonaparte;
			the condition of which was, that the plaintiff, on paying 100 guineas, should receive one
			guinea per day so long as Buonaparte should live. The contract had been performed on the
			part of the plaintiff, and for a considerable period, nearly three years, the defendant
			continued to pay the stipulated sum.
			'It was contended on the part of the defendant, that the offer made by Sir M. Sykes, "to
			receive 100 guineas to pay one guinea per day during the life of Buonaparte," was a hasty
			expression in a moment of conviviality. Mr. Gilbert did, indeed, when he found the feeling
			of the company against the bet, say, "If you will submit, Sir Mark, to ask it as a favour you
			may be off." Mr. Topping said, he should contend that the proposal of Sir Mark was not meant
			as a serious bet; and if this should be the opinion of the jury, he would be entitled to a verdict;
			but if it should be thought a real wager, he should even then submit some observations on the
			law of the case and contend, that in the event of an invasion an interest might be revealed
			in this wager totally inconsistent with the public safety.
			"Putting the case," said Mr. Topping, "that Buonaparte should, at the head of an immense army,
			succeed in effecting a descent upon this country, it is clear that the plaintiff would have an
			interest in protecting that life, which every true subject and friend of his country would be
			interested in destroying; he would have an annuity of 365 guineas per annum depending upon
			the personal safety of this inveterate enemy of our country. I know not whether the Rev.
			Clergyman frequently attends the church, where we are commanded to pray for our enemies,
			but the plaintiff has a most cogent motive for being devout in this part of the service - an
			interest of 365 guineas a year."
			'The judge then proceeded to state the evidence to the jury, with his observations upon it,
			leaving them to decide on the fact - whether there was an intention of betting on the part of
			Sir Mark Sykes, and reserving the point of law. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant.'
			The Rev. Gilbert, having lost his action, then appealed to the Court of King's Bench, where the
			appeal was heard on 12 June 1812. Gilbert again lost as the jury found "the wager to be
			contrary to law, contrary to morality and contrary to Christianity."
