DerbyTup   10 #6 Posted March 16, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

ricdys   10 #12 Posted April 14, 2017 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.
