Baronetcy in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Houstoun, later Houstoun-Boswall Baronetcy, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.
The title was created on 19 July 1836 for General Sir William Houstoun, GCB.[1] The second Baronet was a Colonel in the Grenadier Guards. In 1847 he assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Boswall on his marriage to Euphemia, daughter of Thomas Boswall.[2] The sixth Baronet, whose father Colonel Thomas Alford Houston-Boswall-Preston had assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Preston in 1886,[3] discontinued the use of the surname Preston in 1953. The family surname is pronounced "Hooston-Boswall".
The heir apparent is Alexander Alford Houstoun-Boswall (born 1972)
