Hello
I'm looking for any parish record entries for the name Beenham (or variations) in the villages of Toot or Marsh Baldon. My ancestor Jacob Beenham appears to have been born in Marsh Baldon c 1716 or 17 and I think his father Thomas c 1680 and his grandfather Walter in Toot Baldon c 1640
Any help would be much appreciated

Hi Margaret,
There are a number of Benham/Beenham/Benum/ etc in both Baldon PRs (from the OFHS)
This is what i have extracted from the Marsh Baldon PRs;
Baptisms;
11-4-1664 BEENHAM Mary d/o Walter
16-9-1669 BEENHAM Jane d/o Walter
28-10-1673 BEENHAM Elizabeth d/o Walter
17-7-1681 BEENOH? Thomas s/o Walter - This entry is not in the register as the "folios
between 1674 - 1683 are missing" but has been taken from the BTs
6-5-1714 BEENHAM Thomas s/o Thomas
22-1-1715 " " " "
19-5-1717 " Jacob " "
9-9-1717 " Mary d/o "
These are from the Toot Baldon PRs (ex OFHS);
Baptisms;
22-2-1665 BEENHAM John s/o Joseph
1-8-1666 " Martha d/o Walter
30-4-1732 BEENUM John s/o John
10-12-1733 BENHAM Ann d/o John
22-2-1735 BEENHAM John s/o John
17-7-1737 " Joseph " "
There is this burial in the Toot Baldon PRs which may be of use;
21-8-1713 BENHAM, Walter - no other info.
There are some other BEENHAM families which I haven't looked at.
