Sydney Family
The first creation was for Henry Sydney, who was created Viscount Sydney of Sheppey and Baron Milton (i.e. Milton in Kent) in the Peerage of England on 9 September 1689. He was later further created Earl of Romney. He had no children so the titles became extinct on his death on 8 April 1704.
