Sir Daniel Bellingham, 1st Baronet

Sir Daniel Bellingham, 1st Baronet, (c.1620 – 1672) was an Anglo-Irish merchant and official in the Dublin Castle administration of Ireland.

In 1659 Bellingham was appointed a major in the city militia, although he maintained secret contact with the exiled Royalist Duke of Ormond throughout the 1650s and was not punished after the Stuart Restoration.

[1] A wealthy man by 1660, Bellingham was recommended to undertake the supply of clothing for the Irish Army in 1661.

From 1661, he was one of a group that sought a patent to issue coinage in Ireland and that was granted the office of alnage of cloth in 1662.

His time in office was not successful; a London treasury investigation in 1668 revealed his inept handling of Ireland's finances.
