Halford Baronets, of Welham, Co Leicester (27 June 1706; Extinct 1720)
This baronetcy was created on 27 June 1706 for William Halford, possibly descended from the Halfords of Wistow. (The evidence is not certain, because the first baronet's grandfather and namesake was identified in visitations by herald. This baronetcy was not mentioned in Burke's Extinct Baronetage 1841, possibly because the second and third baronets may have been Jacobites.
- Sir William Halford, 1st Bt., of Welham, co Leics (1663-1 March 1709). He married 1792 Lady Frances Cecil (d. 1698), second surviving daughter of James Cecil, 3rd Earl of Salisbury and Lady Margaret Manners.
- Sir James Halford, 2nd Baronet (died ca. 1715)
- Sir William Halford, 3rd Baronet (c. 1693-25 March 1720)
