James Bulkeley, 6th Viscount Bulkeley

[2] He succeeded to the Irish peerage as Viscount Bulkeley on the death of his childless elder brother, Richard, in 1738.

He also inherited Baron Hill and became Chamberlain of North Wales and Constable of Beaumaris castle from 1739 until his death.

[3] Bulkeley was returned unopposed as Tory Member of Parliament for Beaumaris at a by-election on 20 April 1739, following the death of his brother.

[3] Bulkeley was involved with the Welsh Jacobites under Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn and was apparently willing to lead an uprising in Wales against George II.

However, this never happened because of a lack of French military support for The Young Pretender during the Invasion of England.
