BULLINGHAM, Francis (1554-1633), of Cathedral Close, Lincoln, Lincs.
Despite his reprieve in 1608, Bullingham's financial problems grew steadily worse. Having engaged himself as security for Sir Roger Dallison* and his brother Sir Thomas*, he was unable to honour these commitments. On his third marriage he sold his registrarship to his son-in-law for £1,000, reserving to himself an annual income of £600 of the profits for seven years, and thereafter £300 for life. Nevertheless he still owed the Crown £2,400, and by November 1613 he was in the Fleet for debt, where he seems to have remained for the rest of his life.26 As an outlaw, his goods and chattels were granted to John More II* in 1615.27 He joined in the prisoners' petition to Parliament against maltreatment by the warden in 1621.28 Bullingham died intestate and was buried at St. Bride's, Fleet Street on 18 Nov. 1633.29 His only son predeceased him.
