Goldsmid baronets

The Goldsmid Baronetcy, of St John's Lodge in the County of Surrey, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.

It was created on 15 October 1841 for Isaac Goldsmid, a financier and one of the leading figures in the Jewish emancipation in the United Kingdom.

He was a barrister and sat as member of parliament for Reading.

He was childless and was succeeded by his nephew Julian, the third Baronet.

Julian Goldsmid had eight daughters but no sons and on his death in 1896 the title became extinct.
