Otway baronets
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates
The Otway baronetcy, of Brighthelmstone in the County of Sussex, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created 30 September 1831 for Admiral Robert Otway, in honour of his service in the Napoleonic Wars and off the Brazilian Coast.[2]
Since his two eldest sons had predeceased him in naval service, the baronetcy passed to his third son George Otway, the 2nd Baronet, on his death in 1846. After George Otway's death the baronetcy passed to his brother Arthur Otway, the 3rd Baronet and fourth son of Admiral Robert Otway. He was a barrister and politician and served under William Gladstone as Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs between 1868 and 1871.[2] He had no surviving male issue and the title became extinct on his death in 1912.[3]
