SUTHERLAND, (Sir) John Brewer, 3rd Baronet (1931-2024)

[colinp]

The Official Roll of the Baronetage now shows the Sutherland baronetcy of Dunstanburgh Castle as being vacant. (Sir) John Brewer Sutherland, 3rd Baronet has therefore died - he did not use the title.

I have found the death notice published in the Northumberland Gazette on 23 May 2024:-

Sutherland

John (Ross Farm, Belford)

Died peacefully at home on 11th May, aged 92 years. A dearly loved husband, father and grandpa who will be greatly missed. A private funeral service will take place. Friends and family are warmly invited to attend a Service of Thanksgiving for John's life at St Aidan's Church, Bamburgh on Friday 14th June at 2.00pm.

Various online sources give his address as Ross Farm, Belford inc Companies House.

A well stocked line of succession, with a lot of younger males-- if only all peerages and baronetcies could have a similar line.
