His father had been born Henry Newton, but changed the family's name to Puckering some time after 1636, when he inherited the estates of his uncle Sir Thomas Puckering, 1st Baronet.
(The title came not from the uncle, but from his father Sir William Newton, 2nd Baronet).
[2] The younger Henry Puckering was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where graduated in 1657.
He appears to have been a fairly active member, but died during the recess before the new session of Parliament began in March 1664.
[2] His grave monument in Warwick was sculpted by James Hardy.
