George Witham
George Witham (1655–1725) was an English Roman Catholic bishop who served firstly as the Vicar Apostolic of the Midland District, then the Vicar Apostolic of the Northern District.
==Early life==
He was born at Cliffe Hall, Cliffe, near Darlington on 16 May 1655,〔 the second of the six sons of George Witham of Cliffe and Grace (or Catherine) Wyvill, daughter of Sir Marmaduke Wyvill, 2nd Bt., of Constable Burton Hall, Yorkshire.
His elder brother, John, succeeded to Cliffe Hall, while three of his other brothers were also ordained to the priesthood: Thomas was Superior of the English Seminary in Paris, Robert was President of English College, Douai, and Anthony was a Douai priest, who fell into ill health and retired to serve the convent of the Poor Clares in Rouen.〔, ''The Episcopal Succession volume 3'', p. 204.〕
From 1692 to 1694, he was safely harboured by his brother-in-law, George Palmes, of the Palmes family, at Naburn Hall along with several other Catholic priests.〔(Papers of the Palmes Family of Naburn in the National Archives )〕 In 1694, Witham was sent to Rome by bishops Leyburn, Giffard and Smith. In their letter to the Propaganda Fide, dated 20 October 1694, they commissioned Witham to serve as their agent for English matters with the authorities in Rome. He was also recommended to the Propaganda Fide by a letter from James II & VII, the exiled king of England and Scotland. Witham remained in his post in Rome until nominated to a Vicariate in 1702.〔, ''The Episcopal Succession volume 3'', p. 205.〕
