Browne, Later De Beauvoir Baronets, of Palmerston (1797)

The Browne, later de Beauvoir Baronetcy, of Palmerston in the County of Mayo, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 8 December 1797 for John Browne. He was a great-grandson of Dominick Browne, younger son of the first Baronet of the 1636 creation (see above). Dominick's half-brother Colonel John Browne was the ancestor of both the Barons Kilmaine and the Marquesses of Sligo. The first Baronet's eldest son, the second Baronet, assumed by Royal license the surname of de Beauvoir in lieu of his patronymic in 1826. He was knighted the following year and later sat as Member of Parliament for Windsor. He was childless and was succeeded by his younger brother, the third Baronet. He had retained the surname Browne. He had no surviving children and on his death in 1890 the title became extinct.
