Houstoun-Boswall Baronets

The Houstoun, later Houstoun-Boswall Baronetcy, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 19 July 1836 for General William Houstoun. The second Baronet was a Colonel in the Grenadier Guards. In 1847 he assumed by Royal license the additional surname of Boswall on his marriage to Euphemia, daughter of Thomas Boswall. The sixth Baronet, whose father Colonel Thomas Alford Houston-Boswall-Preston had assumed by Royal license the additional surname of Preston in 1886, discontinued the use of the surname Preston in 1953. The family surname is pronounced "Hooston-Boswall".
