Bridgeman baronets of Ridley (1673)
The Bridgeman baronetcy, of Ridley in the County of Chester, was created on 12 November 1673 for Orlando Bridgeman, Member of Parliament for Horsham and younger son of the 1st Baronet, of the Great Lever creation. He was succeeded by his son, the 2nd Baronet. The latter was Member of Parliament for Calne, Lostwithiel, Blechingley and Dunwich. Bridgeman baronets, of Ridley (1673)

The supposed third baronet
Francis Bridgeman (August 1713 – November or December 1740) was the only son of Sir Orlando Bridgeman, 2nd Baronet, and his wife Susanna Dashwood, daughter of Sir Francis Dashwood, 1st Baronet. Following his father's apparent drowning in 1738, Bridgeman was assumed to have inherited the baronetcy. Shortly thereafter, his father, who had only feigned his death to avoid his creditors, was discovered and imprisoned. Francis Bridgeman died, unmarried and childless, aged only 27, on board a ship in Sir Chaloner Ogle's fleet, en route to the West Indies. He had not succeeded to the title, and it instead became extinct with the death of the 2nd Baronet in 1746. See also
