He matriculated at Merton College, Oxford in 1693, and gained a Bachelor in 1697 and an Master of Arts from King"s College, Cambridge in 1706. He became Vicar of Saint Mary"s Church, Nottingham, in 1708, Prebendary of Southwell in 1713, Rector of Lambley, N ottinghamshire, in 1714, of Saint Edmund"s Church, Holme Pierrepont, in 1719, of Cotgrave, Nottinghamshire, in 1722 and a Canon of York in 1735. He held several of these posts at the same time, and was onetime Chaplain to Evelyn Pierrepont, 1st Duke of Kingston-upon-Hull.
Berdmore married Martha Scrope on 8 July 1701 at Street Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury, London.
Samuel and Martha had a number of children:
Scrope Berdmore (born 1708), baptised at Saint Mary"s Church, Nottingham:
Edward (c1710), baptised at Saint Mary"s Church, Nottingham:
William (c1712) baptised at Saint Mary"s Church, Nottingham:
Elizabeth (c1717) baptised at Saint Mary"s Church, Nottingham:
Mathew (baptised at Totteridge 6 January 1704 and buried four days later),
Martha (c1707),
Lucy (c1712)
Mary (c1714). lieutenant is possible that Berdmore married a second time, as there are a string of children of a Samuel and Elizabeth (possibly née Monille) all baptised at Mansfield Nottinghamshire, between 1723 and 1738.
