Does this place exist?
« on: Monday 17 March 08 15:16 GMT (UK) »
I was looking at a family tree in George Ormerod's history of Cheshire, which says that a Mary Delves
was married to one Richard Stacy of Bitham, Lincolnshire. However, I cannot find Bitham/Betham on the map I have.

Can anyone help?!
