4th son.

---

Settled at Lymster near Arundel, and became the ancestor of the Sussex families. Left to his son Ralph the manor of Yapton, certain property in Petworth, and moiety of the manor of Erringham in Old Shoreham.

---

The ancestor of this family was Sir Robert Bellingham (the name is pro nounced "Bellinjum"), Baronet, of Burnishead in Westmoreland, living there in the time of Kings Henry the Fifth and Sixth. By his wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Richard Tunstall, Knt., of Thurland Castle, county Lancashire, Sir Robert had issue, three sons-Sir Henry, ancestor of the Burnishead and Levens families ; Richard, ancestor of the Lincolnshire family; and Thomas, who settled at Lymster, near Arundel, and became the ancestor of the Sussex families with whom we are more particularly concerned.

Thomas Bellingham, by his wife, Joan Wiltshire, was the father of three sons - Ralph of Lymster, born about 1470, Edward of Erringham, and Richard of Newtimber and Hangleton - and one daughter, Joan, who became the wife of Ralph Shirley.

Thomas Bellingham died and left to his son Ralph the Manor of Yapton, near Arundel, certain property in Petworth, and a moiety of the Manor of Erringham in Old Shoreham.

• BEB1841 (Bellingham of Hilsington) starts with the Sir Robert Bellingham who married Elizabeth Tunstall, identifying him as 10th in descent from ...

  • 1. ?? de Bellingham
  • Visitation (Sussex) starts with the following Richard. The dates make it appear that there should be another generation between him and the above Alan but the generations given set the Sir Robert Bellingham who married Elizabeth Tunstall as 10th in descent from Alan.

                    • ((A)) Sir Robert Bellingham (d 12.03.1476) - continued below
                    • In due course we hope to find a reliable source against which to compare the above-shown ancestry for Sir Robert. The Tripod web site referred to below provides 4 genrations before him, showing him as son of Sir Robert son (by Anne Barburne) of Robert son (by Margaret de Burnsheads) of Richard son of William, but that site appears to have been based largely on the IGI which is not known for its reliability regarding early generations.
                    • m. Elizabeth Tunstall (dau of Sir Richard Tunstall of Thurland Castle)

• m. Elizabeth Tunstall (dau of Sir Richard Tunstall of Thurland Castle)
  • 1. Sir Henry Bellingham of Burnishead or Burneshead
  • Maddison indicates that Sir Henry was the ancestor of the Bellinghams of Levens as well as Burnishead but, following BP1934 (Bellingham), we show the Levens branch as headed by his younger brother Alan. The following comes from the Tripod web site identified below.

      • (1) Visitation gives rise to confusion as to the allocation of Edward's children between the marriages. It shows them under one wife and then indicates that they were by the other wife. The following may be the wrong way round!
      • (2) The following is partly supported by VCH (Sussex, vol 7, Parishes: Newtimber).
