Sir Richard Bulkeley, 1st Baronet

[2] Bulkeley was High Sheriff of Wicklow in 1660 and sat in the Irish House of Commons as MP for Baltinglass between 1665 and 1666.

[3] She died in 1664,[4] and on 8 February 1684, Bulkeley married secondly Dorothy Whitfield, daughter of Henry Whitfield MP and his wife Hester Temple, at the Church of St Nicholas Without, Dublin.

[2] He died only a year later, and was succeeded in the baronetcy by his eldest son Richard.

[1] His widow two years after his death remarried his third wife William Worth, Baron of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland); she died in 1705.

[5] Rather strangely by modern standards, Worth after Dorothy's death remarried her stepson's widow, Lucy Downing, who was a daughter of the eminent politician and financier Sir George Downing, 1st Baronet and his wife Frances Howard.
