in the early 1890s, strickland went to live abroad. in 1911, he sold the family home, which became a convent. after 1912, he did not live in england. strickland spent some time in russia and in 1923 became a citizen of czechoslovakia, formally renouncing his british citizenship and that he would not be using the title. (there is no mechanism for a baronet to renounce the title, although it is possible to cease using it during his lifetime.)
