Baron Joicey

Baron Joicey, of Chester-le-Street in the County of Durham,[1] is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1906 for the coal mining magnate and former Liberal Member of Parliament for Chester-le-Street, Sir James Joicey, 1st Baronet. He had already been created a baronet, of Longhirst and of Ulgham, both in the County of Northumberland, in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom in 1893.[2] He was succeeded by his eldest son, the second Baron. He was High Sheriff of County Durham in 1910. The second baron lost his son young, and on his death his younger brother succeeded to the barony. The third Baron was an army officer, whose elder son died in WWII without male issue, and he was thus succeeded by his younger son, the fourth baron. As of 2010 the titles are held by the latter's eldest son, the fifth Baron, who succeeded in 1993.

John Joicey, uncle of the first Baron, was a Liberal politician and coal owner.

The family seat is Etal Manor on the Ford Castle and Etal Castle estate.

Notes
gollark: Exactly.
gollark: I mean, you can, if you install Þython or something.
gollark: Anyway, my current opinion is that teaching all childlings to program actually could be pretty good if it was done well (it isn't in basically all cases)... and if the hardware/software environments moderm children interacted with actually *let* you write/use programs for things easily, which they don't, which is unfortunate but kind of separate.
gollark: Coltrans is actually on Pronouny too.
gollark: Gremlin hobbies.
