Bridgeman Baronets

Bridgeman Baronets

There have been two Baronetcies created for a person with the surname Bridgeman, both in the Baronetage of England.

The Bridgeman Baronetcy, of Great Lever Park in the County of Lancaster, was created on 7 June 1660 for the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal Orlando Bridgeman, who was succeeded by his oldest son. The 5th Baronet, was elevated to the peerage as Baron Bradford in 1794.

The Bridgeman Baronetcy, of Ridley in the County of Chester, was created on 12 November 1773 for Orlando Bridgeman, Member of Parliament for Horsham and younger son of the 1st Baronet, of the Great Lever creation. He was succeeded by his own son. The latter was Member of Parliament for Calne, Lostwithiel, Blechingley and Dunwich. His only son, the 3rd Baronet died unmarried and childless on sea on the way to the West Indies between November and December 1740 and the baronetcy became extinct. According to some sources, the possibility exists, that the 2nd Baronet had faked his death. In this case his son could not have succeeded him.
