Worcestershire / Re: Kings Norton farm BELLINGHAM/BILLINGHAM

Thank you - my Bellingham/Billingham family were miners, originating in Shropshire.  James Bellingham, a miner (b1805 Lilleshall) moved from Lilleshall to Tipton where he married Mary Ann Law (b1820 Tipton).  Their children were Betsey, Martha, Timothy, Phillis, Uriah, Jane, Elizabeth, James & Mary Billingham.  Jane, my great-great-grandmother, married Frederick Walker (1900 Kings Norton).

Worcestershire / Kings Norton farm BELLINGHAM/BILLINGHAM

My mother used to speak of spending time visiting relatives at a farm in Kings Norton, probably in the 1920/30s.  I believe their name was either BELLINGHAM or BILLINGHAM.  But I can't seem to find a record - if anyone has any leads I would be very grateful.
Best wishes

Thank you all for you help.  I have to confess that I believe I got his date of birth wrong - more likely this was c1806.  I have failed on the leads you have given me so far, but perhaps this new date will ring a bell with someone?   

Best wishes

Hi - I am looking for information regarding the parents/siblings of James Billingham (also sometimes called Bellingham), born Tipton c1819 and lived there working as a miner (in fact he was a sinker) with his wife Mary Ann nee Law and their children.  These included Betsy, Martha, Timothy, Phillis, Elizabeth, Jane, and twins Maryann and James.  I have found him on the census for 1841/51/61.  This was not the James Billingham working as a chain maker or similar.  I would be very grateful for any information, I seem to be completely stuck!

Thank you,
Judith
