Biddulph was born in 1840, and was the third son of Robert Biddulph. He was educated at Westminster School, and at the age of 18 joined the 19th Lancers and proceeded to India where he served in Awadh during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

Between 1873 and 1874 he accompanied Douglas Forsyth and Ferdinand Stoliczka on the Second Yarkand Mission an expedition across the Himalayas to Chinese Turkestan. During this voyage, Biddulph collected numerous specimens of birds and mammals, including an unknown species of Podoces which was later named in is honour by Allan Octavian Hume as Podoces biddulphi. In 1877 Biddulph was posted at Gilgit, in the extreme north-western corner of Kashmir, and remained there until 1881. During this period he corresponded on ornithology with Hume and his observations and research in this region were published in two papers in the Ibis. After holding many posts as British Resident at various princely states and serving for four years on the staff of the Viceroy of India, Lord Northbrook, Biddulph retired from the service in 1896. He died on 24 December, 1921 in Grey Court, London, aged 81."
