George Harnage




Harnage Baronets

The Harnage Baronetcy, of Belswardyne in the County of Shropshire, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 28 July 1821 for George Harnage, a Captain in the Royal Navy. Born George Blackman, he was the son of John Lucie Blackman, a London merchant and the member of an old London and West Indies family, and his wife Mary, daughter of Henry Harnage. He married his cousin Mary, daughter of Sir Henry Harnage, of Belswardyne, Shropshire, and assumed in 1821 the surname of Harnage in lieu of his patronymic. The Harnages were an old Shropshire family and had been settled at Belswardyne since 1542. The title became extinct on the death of the third Baronet in 1888.
