Early life
editHe was the only surviving son of Elizabeth Arundell and Sir Henry Bedingfeld, 2nd Baronet of Oxburgh Hall,[2] who accompanied Henry Stuart, Duke of Gloucester to England in 1660.[3] His sisters were Margaret Bedingfeld (wife of Sir John Jerningham, 4th Baronet) and Frances Bedingfeld (wife of Sir Francis Anderton, 6th Baronet).[4] His father had previously been married to Lady Anne Howard, a daughter of Charles Howard, 2nd Earl of Berkshire, but she died without issue.[3]
His paternal grandparents were Margaret Paston (a daughter of Edward Paston of Appleton, Norfolk) and Sir Henry Bedingfeld, 1st Baronet, who had been created a baronet in 1661 as compensation for the family's unrecovered loss for supporting the Royalist cause during the English Civil War.[5] Among his extended family was first cousin, Mary Bedingfield, who married Sir John Swinburne, 3rd Baronet of Capheaton, Northumberland (a son of Sir William Swinburne, 2nd Baronet).[4] His maternal grandparents were Sir John Arundell of Lanherne, Cornwall and Hon. Elizabeth Roper (a daughter of the 3rd Baron Teynham).[3]

editOn 28 August 1719, Sir Henry married Lady Elizabeth Boyle (c. 1691–1751), eldest daughter of Charles Boyle, 3rd Earl of Cork (also known as the 2nd Earl of Burlington in the Peerage of England) and Juliana Noel (the only daughter and heiress of Hon. Henry Noel, himself the second son of the 3rd Viscount Campden).[7] Together, they were the parents of:
- Elizabeth Bedingfeld, who married Charles Biddulph, son of John Biddulph and Mary Arundell.[6]
