Experience has taught me that the vast majority of Beedhams are descended from, or related to, James Beedham and Margaret Bainbridge who lived in Claypole, Lincolnshire in the late 17th Century.
There is one family that, despite all effort I cannot discover their roots. I would be very grateful if anyone can help.
Alan

Hi Alan,
You have the birthdate, so do you have the birth certificate for John William BEEDHAM? I expect you have this reference already but just in case,
Birth
John William BEEDHAM Dec Q 1885 Brighton v.2b p.238
Regards
Daisy

Thanks Daisy,
I have the information from John William's birth and death certificates, however these aren't helping much. In the 1891 and 1901 censuses there are no signs of any Beedhams in Brighton and I cannot locate the father or John W Beedham in any other location in England. I quess the family must have cleared off to India by then?
Regards
Alan

Hi Alan,
It's possible they were abroad for the censuses or maybe his mother had remarried, or he's just hiding under some awful mistranscription 
What were his parents names?

Hi Daisy,
James, a Gardener and Gorden (m/s) Turtle.
I've tried all the usual mispellings, Budham,Beadham, Beecham, etc., but to no avail.

Hi Alan,
This is what I have found,
Marriage
James BEEDHAM Dec Q 1868 Grantham v.7a p.885
Gorden TURTLE on same page
Transcribed as James and Gardner BERDHAM in 1871,
1871 RG10/3351 f.101 p.24 Wilsford, Lincolnshire
Wilsford ?? of Ancaster
James BEEDHAM Head Mar 25 Groom & Carrier Lincoln Claypole
Gordon BEEDHAM Wife Mar 26 Marnham Nottm
Elizabeth WILLIAMS Niece Unm 5 Shepherd Daur Wootlington? Lincoln
I can't find them anywhere in 1881 
1891 RG12/416 f.29 p.8 Lambeth, London
348 Cold Harbour Lane
James BEEDHAM Head Mar 45 Gardener Own Account Claypole Lincolnshire
Gorden BEEDHAM Wife Mar 47 Marnham Nottinghamshire
John NEWBY Lodger Mar 48 Gardener Own Account Benhall East Suffolk
In 1894 it looks like Gorden remarries,
Gorden BEEDHAM Sep Q 1894 Wandsworth v.1d p.1097
George ALGER on same page
1901 RG13/412 f.58 p.12 Lambeth
104 Kennington Park Road
George ALGER Head M 54 Working Horsekeeper Norfolk
Gorden " " Wife M 54 Marnham Nottingham
William FORSTER Boarder S 24 Working Carman Wimbledon Surrey
Charles FERGUSON " S 69 Working Horsekeeper Ireland
Thomas LEONARD " S 25 Groom " Sligo " "

Good work Daisy!
I think the niece's birthplace may be Waddington.

Thanks Daisy and Geoff,
There is something not quite right, James Beedham died March 1892 in Wandsworth
I've sent the info. that you have posted to William John Beedham's great-grandson Geoffrey, who lives in Pasadena, Los Angeles. Geoffrey and his siblings have been trying to find their English roots for the past twenty years but have remained stuck at Brighton 1885. I have been working from transcripts of the birth and death certificates that they sent to me, I have now placed an order for the full copies from the ONS. I will let you know if I glean any more info from these certificates when they arrive.
Alan
