Billam Street, Eckington.

I have often wondered what were the origins of Billam Street in Eckington, it is quite an unusual name.

I dont know how the street got its name but I have ancestors from there with the surname Billam

I know that my family were originally from Norton and Green hill before settling in Woodseats.

It's just a name. A mix of Bill and William I suspect.

Billams lived in Eckington from mid 1600's, so a local family name.

Interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks. As an Eckingtonian that's of interest.

I expect the Fenton's live there too for some years.

Sorry I only have Billam family info, not any Eckington details.

What Billam family history do you have? I have a John Dyson marrying an Elizabeth Billam in Rotherham in 1846. Her father was a Francis Billam.

Sorry for delay, I have extensive research on this family, if you need anything just message me. I am happy to share information.

Cool Scott what info can you share? I would be happy for anything

Got just about all the family history, I have found your Elizabeths dad, Francis on my tree. My link is Francis brother John. Do you know any Billam history or is it Dyson history you are interested in.

That's all I really know on Billam history, I am interested in the Billam side. The name Francis carried on to my father but they changed it to Frank. Yes I would be interested in the Billam history.
