I have traced my surname Beedham to the town of Beetham. Apparently, according to records I have uncovered from 1860, Beedham is a misspelling of Beetham. I am looking for two things: anybody who has the last name of beetham or beedham, and I am looking for my long lost father Michael John Beedham. If you have any information on that please contact me at jeff@jeffbeedham.com. My cell phone is 702-334-3040 here in the US. Also, if anybody can help me in migrating back to my genetic homeland of the UK I would much appreciative.

baronetcy should be restored

edit

The lands and title of the last baronet Roger de Betham were confiscated by the Cromwell government because he was a Royalist. Then a few years later was the restoration (James II). At this point the lands - or at least the baronetcy and title - should have been restored to the family Betham. They were not. This is still a sore point with the primogenitor descendants. Instead of simply deleting this section, consider that this is a matter of historic and legal interest for the readers of this talk page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.223.198.6 (talk) 03:54, 23 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
