Miller baronets facts for kids

A baronetcy is a special title that can be passed down through a family, usually from father to son. It's a bit like being a knight, but the title stays in the family. There have been four different Miller Baronetcies created for people named Miller. Two of these titles still exist today.

The first Miller Baronetcy, from a place called Oxenhoath in Kent, was created on October 13, 1660, for Humphrey Miller. He was an important local official called the High Sheriff of Kent in 1666. This title ended when the second Baronet died in 1714.

Another Miller Baronetcy, from Chichester in Sussex, was created on October 29, 1705, for Thomas Miller. He was a Member of Parliament (MP) for Chichester, meaning he helped make laws for the country. His father, Mark Miller, was an important city leader and Mayor of Chichester. Several later Baronets from this family also became Members of Parliament. A notable family member was Sir Henry Miller, who was a leader in the New Zealand government from 1892 to 1903.

The Miller Baronetcy of Glenlee, in Kirkcudbright, was created on March 3, 1788, for Thomas Miller. He was a very important judge in Scotland. His son, the second Baronet, was also a judge and an MP for Edinburgh. The seventh Baronet was the leader of the Suffolk County Council for a short time.

The last Miller Baronetcy, from Manderston in Berwick, was created on March 24, 1874, for William Miller. He was a diplomat and politician. This title ended when his younger son, the third Baronet, passed away in 1918. Their family home was Manderston, near Duns.

He was a Justice of the Peace and a magistrate, which means he helped keep law and order. He lived at Manderston in Berwickshire and also had homes in Kent and London. Sir John married three times, but he did not have any children. Because of this, the baronetcy title ended when he died. The family home, Manderston, was then passed to his eldest sister, Amy.
