The Fletcher, later Boughey Baronetcy, of Newcastle-under-Lyme and of Betley both in the County of Stafford, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. [3] It was created on 24 August 1798 for Thomas Fletcher, of Betley Court, Staffordshire, High Sheriff of Staffordshire in 1783 and 1789 and Deputy Lieutenant of the county. He was the husband of Elizabeth Fenton, granddaughter of George Boughey, of Audley, Staffordshire whose will provided for his great-grandson (Fletcher's son John) to inherit the Audley estate.

In compliance with his great-grandfather's will the second Baronet assumed by sign-manual the surname of Boughey in 1805. He acquired an estate at Forton, Staffordshire where he rebuilt Aqualate Hall. He later sat as Member of Parliament for Newcastle-under-Lyme (1812) and Staffordshire (1820–23). He was succeeded by his eldest son, Thomas, the third Baronet, who was himself succeeded in turn by five of his eight sons, none of whom provided a male heir.

The eighth Baronet was succeeded by his first cousin once removed, George, the ninth Baronet. He was the son of Colonel George Fletcher Ottley Boughey, eldest son of Lieutenant-Colonel George Fenton Fletcher Boughey, third son of the second Baronet.

John Boughey (1845–1932), second son of George Fenton Fletcher Boughey, third son of the second Baronet, was a Major-General in the Wiltshire Regiment.
