He was the only son of Dugdale Stratford Dugdale of Merevale Hall, Warwickshire and his wife, the Hon. Charlotte Curzon, daughter of Assheton Curzon, 1st Viscount Curzon. His father was a Member of Parliament (MP) for Warwickshire.[2]
William was educated at Westminster School and at Christ Church, Oxford.[2] He married Harriet Ella Portman in 1827, and the couple had 10 children.[3]
Dugdale entered the unreformed House of Commons at the 1830 general election as an MP for the borough of Shaftesbury in Dorset.[4] He did not contest that seat at the 1831 general election,[4] when he was returned unopposed for the rotten borough of Bramber in Sussex.[5]
Bramber was disenfranchised by the Reform Act 1832, and at the 1832 general election he was returned as a member for North Warwickshire.[6] He held that seat until he retired from Parliament at the 1847 election.[2]
Dugdale was a Justice of the peace and Deputy Lieutenant for the County of Warwickshire, held a commission in the Warwickshire Yeomanry and was a trustee of Rugby School.[2]
