The ancient roots of the Beddome family name are in the
Anglo-Saxon culture. The name Beddome comes from when the family lived in the Pas-de-Calais region of
Normandy here the family lived before coming to
England with the
Norman Conquest and settling in the county of
Essex. Other records show the name could have been a baptismal name derived from the expression
the son of Beatrice from the
nickname Bete. Early Origins of the Beddome family
The surname Beddome was first found in
Shropshire, where "Walter De Betton had a freehold estate at Betton-Strange, near Shrewsbury, in the reign of
Edward I. William Betton, fourth in descent from Walter, was seated at Great Berwick prior to the reign of Henry IV."
