Baron Leighton of St Mellons

Baron Leighton of St Mellons, of St Mellons in the County of Monmouth, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.^[1] It was created on 25 January 1962 for the Welsh shipping magnate Sir Leighton Seager, 1st Baronet. He was the son of Sir William Henry Seager. Seager had already been created a Baronet, of St Mellons in the County of Monmouth on 1 July 1952.^[2] As of 2017 the titles are held by his grandson, the third Baron, who succeeded his father in 1998. As of 31 December 2016 the present Baronet has not successfully proven his succession and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant since 1998.^[3]
