Payne baronets

The Payne Baronetcy, of St Christopher's in the West Indies, was a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain.

The Court of Chancery declared that he was the rightful heir to his father, but this was overturned by the Lord Chancellor in 1829.

Most reference books on the British nobility and baronetage include the title, although they describe it as being in dispute between rival branches of the family.

Charles Robert Salusbury Payne, the supposed sixth Baronet, appears to have discontinued the claim around 1900.

Sir Peter Payne, who claimed to be the third Baronet, sat as Member of Parliament for Bedfordshire between 1831 and 1832.
