Beldam/Beldam connection with Lee's.....
« on: Wednesday 10 February 16 05:01 GMT (UK) »
I have have had a unsolved person who I cannot find....Henry Beldom/Beldam son of Thomas Beldom and Tabitha Gorilla Matilda Fenner he was born in 1880 in Watlington Oxfordshire.  Is found in 1911 a van in Maidenhead as a dealer in iron with Rosina Beldam (both down as single) with three children.  camped with them are gypsy family Popes.  Rosina's father is a Charles Lee on their marriage certificate, they married in 1917 at Easthampstead Berkshire by which time they were living in a house.  I have found a Charles Lee whose mother is a Elizabeth/Betty Skerry and father is also Charles Lee.  I have found times when these families have been involved together,  is there anyone else researching these families please.

Have you read the articles which mention Cinderella (sometimes Sinderella) Beldam on http://www.gypsygenealogy.com/ eg http://www.gypsygenealogy.com/showarticle.php?article_id=19.

http://www.gypsygenealogy.co.uk/showarticle.php?article_id=10 tells how Cinderella Beldam using the name Smith has a relationship with Kisby Draper (later Cotchin).

Cinderella was a daughter of Thomas Beldam/Beldom and Maria Smith.

She shows up in 1861 on this list: http://theromany.weebly.com/1861-census-for-gypsy-and-gipsy-all-counties.html

Have a look at this Beldam family and see if it gives you any links/clues to the Beldam you are looking for.

Descendants of Fred and Esther (Garrett) WHITLOCK - Wavendon, Woburn Sands area
Descendants of George and Barbara (Willis) SUTTON - Earls Barton and Nether Heyford
BISSELL - Hanslope, New Bradwell, Bucks and Aston, Birmingham area

Yes thanks I have..They are the same Beldam's/Beldoms that I am looking for.  I use that site a lot in my research as it often makes the connection between families.

Thank you

We have been researching the Leighs in Alsager Staffordshire. There are a lot of Gypsy links to this area of the UK. We have been unable to find Leigh. My GGM was a Leigh and married a Pattyson.
