The Preston Baronetcy, of Airdrie in the County of Fife, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 22 February 1628 for John Preston. The descent after the death of the fourth Baronet sometime after 1701 and the accession of Robert Preston in 1784 is uncertain. The title became dormant on the latter's death in c. 1792. The Preston Baronetcy, of Valleyfield in the County of Perth, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 13 March 1637 for George Preston. The fifth Baronet sat as Member Of Parliament for Kirkcaldy Burghs . The title became dormant on the death of the ninth Baronet in 1873. The Preston Baronetcy, of Furness in the County of Lancaster, was created in the Baronetage of England on 1 April 1644 for George Preston. The title became extinct on the death of the third Baronet in 1709. The Preston Baronetcy, of Beeston St Lawrence in the County of Norfolk, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 30 May 1815 for Thomas Hulton Preston. Born Thomas Hulton, he was the son of Henry Hulton and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Isaac Preston of Beeston St Lawrence, whose estates he inherited. In 1804 he assumed the surname of Preston in lieu of his patronymic. As of 2007 the presumed eighth and present Baronet has not successfully proven his succession, and is therefore not on the Official Roll of the Baronetage, with the baronetcy considered dormant.
