Beaumont from Norman times

[Iffa]

Looking for Beaumont ancestors. No idea where they started but they ended up in Essex.

The Surnames of Lancashire records that the families of Beaumont, Ewyas and Molyneaux were the only foreigh families in Lancashire during the mid-13thC.

The Beaumont family lived at Lancaster on the North side of the River Lune next to the ancient village of Halton.

According to the OS map for Lancashire there is still a Beaumont Hall and a Beaumont Old Farm in this locality.

Hope this is of some use.

Can anyone assert a connexion between these Lancashire Beaumonts and the "Beaumont" brand of taps; Were any Beaumonts ever involved in manufacturing in this area?

I'm intrigued because there is currently a style of tap called Beaumont, but not (so fars as I can tell) an actual company.

Ahh, didn't realise that would be a problem.
