Sir John Jaffray, 1st Baronet (11 October 1818 – 4 January 1901) was a Scottish journalist and newspaper proprietor. Born in Stirling, he moved to Birmingham in 1844, to work for John Frederick Feeney on the ''Birmingham Journal'', and became a partner in it in 1852. Together they founded the ''Birmingham Daily Post'', (now ''Birmingham Post'') in 1857. He founded the ''Birmingham Mail'' with Feeney's son John Feeney in 1870. He served as High Sheriff of Warwickshire in 1888 and was created a Baronet, of Skilts in Studley in the County of Warwick, in 1892, taking his title from the estate he had bought there. ==References== *Kidd, Charles, Williamson, David (editors).
