(Currimbhoy) Ebrahim baronets of Pabaney Villa (India, 1911)

Group of mills under the Agency of Currimbhoy Ebrahim & Sons Ltd., taken by an unknown photographer circa 1917[1].

The Ebrahim Baronetcy of Pabaney Villa was created in the Baronetage of [Great Britain]] and Ireland on July the 21st, 1911 for Sir Currimbhoy Ebrahim, an Indian industrialist[1]. King George V issued Letters Patent conferring the "dignity, state and degree" of a Baronet on Sir Currimbhoy Ebrahim of Bombay and to "the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten and to be begotten"[2].

In order to provide for the upkeep and dignity of the Baronetey, the then Governor General of India in Council enacted the Sir Currimbhoy Ebrahim Baronetcy Act, 1913 by virtue of which considerable properties belonging to Sir Currimbhoy Ebrahim were settled upon the trustee.
