Family Connections.
His father, Richard Badnall of Ashenhurst, Leek, Staffordshire, was the son of Richard of Highfield and his first wife, Harriet Hopkins. and a great great grandson of Christopher Badnall, a sharman of Uttoxeter, Staffordshire and his wife Sarah Wheilden.  Christopher Badnall was himself the youngest son, of William Badnall of Hanbury and Uttoxeter and (probably) a grandson of Thomas Badnall and Clare Broughton of Walford, Standon in Staffordshire.  Thus Richard Badnall of Ashenhurst, Leek is probably descended from Robert de Badenhall of Baden Hall, Eccleshall, Staffordshire (1228) and connected therefore not only to the Badnalls of Canada, Australia and South Africa but also, through Christopher Badnall's brother William, to the Bednalls of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Lancashire and Yorkshire and elsewhere.
