The
HALLAM Family of Nottinghamshire
The family name
is name after the Hallam in Derbyshire east of Nottingham, or
possibly an area of the same name in Sheffield & Ecclesfield.
Hallam is Old English for valley (variations: Halam, Hallem) and
found mainly in southern Yorkshire and East Midlands. The
Derbyshire name is from Old English halum, plural of halh ‘nook’,
or ‘recess’. The Nordic influence for Old English
hall ‘stone’, ‘rock’, or Old Norse hallr.
Walter HORNBUCKLE
(1602-73) & Ann HALLAM
(my 9xGGPs) married on 24.9.1627 in Radford, Nottinghamshire.
Seeking any additional information about HALLAM families in or

named Jane.
