Three baronetcies were created for different families bearing the name of Halford, but related to one another. The first baronetcy was created in 1641 for Richard Halford in the Baronetage of England. It became extinct in 1780 with the death of the seventh and last baronet. The second baronetcy was created in 1706, also in the Baronetage of England, but became extinct in 1720 in the second generation. The third and last baronetcy was created in 1809 in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom for a prominent physician descended maternally from the fifth Baronet of the previous creation. It too became extinct with the death of the fourth Baronet (third generation) in 1897. ==Halford baronets, of Wistow, co Leicester (18 December 1641; extinct 1780)== *Sir Richard Halford, 1st Baronet (–1658), Sheriff of Leicestershire in the 19th year of James I's reign, created a baronet on 18 December 1641.
