Waldrams/Waldrons 1450s onwards
I have been researching the Waldram/Waldron family for some time now and from what I can see there seems to be some confusion and mix-up over the different families. Henry Waldram born around 1450 in St Sepulchre/Holborn London moved to Leicestershire on or around the time ofhis marriage and all of his immediate descendants were born within the county of Leicestershire. I have many of the last will and testaments of these family members and they ALL used the surname WALDRAM.
It wasn't until Henrie (GGGG grandson of the original Henry) moved to Ireland (and subsequent families moved to the USA, Australia and New Zealand) that certain members of the family adopted the spelling of Waldron.
From what I can see there is no link to the families originating in Saffron Waldron, Worcestershire or Wiltshire.
Here in Leicestershire there are still many descendants still using the original name of Waldram.... K
