Billy Beldham
William ("Silver Billy") Beldham (5 February 1766, Wrecclesham, near Farnham, Surrey – 20 February 1862, Tilford, Surrey) was an English professional cricketer who is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest batsmen of the sport's underarm era. In 1997, he was selected by John Woodcock of ''The Times'' as one of his ''100 Greatest Cricketers of All Time''. In some sources, his name has been given as "Beldam" or "Beldum".
==Early life==
Beldham was born in the village of Wrecclesham, on the Hampshire/Surrey border just over a mile south-west of Farnham. His family had a farm at Wrecclesham.〔Mote, p.120.〕
His exact birthplace has not been precisely identified but was probably Yew Tree Cottage (built in the early 16th century) as in 1820 – the year before his retirement and move to Tilford – the house was surrendered by a William Beldham to a John Wells (the significance being that Beldham's brother-in-law was fellow cricketer "Honest" John Wells): additionally, there is a strong local tradition that this was his birthplace. He was the fourth of six children (and third son) of George Beldham (1728–1811) and Ann Benfil (or Bonfil) (1728–1793), and his ancestry in the area can be traced back at least seven generations to Allen Beldham (born mid-16th century). Nothing is known of his schooling but, as he was able to sign his name on his first marriage certificate as opposed to making a witnessed mark, it is likely he had a basic grounding.〔The preceding information is sourced from Collyer, pp.12–15, and also the Ancestry.co.uk & Familysearch.org websites〕
