James Bellingham

Sir James Bellingham, 2nd Baronet (8 September 1623 – 26 October 1650)[1] was an English politician, lawyer and baronet.

He was the only son of Sir Henry Bellingham, 1st Baronet and Dorothy Boynton, daughter of Sir Francis Boynton.[2] After being called to the bar at Gray's Inn,[3] Bellingham was a Member of Parliament (MP) for Westmorland in the Long Parliament from 1646 until 1648.[1]

Bellingham married Catherine Willoughby, daughter of Sir Henry Willoughby, 1st Baronet.[4] Their marriage was childless.[4] In 1650, having succeeded his father as baronet, Bellingham himself died two weeks later, aged only 27. With his death the baronetcy became extinct.[2] He was buried in Heversham.[3]
