'Langham2'Index links to: Lead / Letter
Families covered: Langham of Gopsal (Gopsull or Coppeshull), Langham of Langham (Rutland)
[Much of the following, based on Nichols's work, was originally reported under 'Langham3'. It was absorbed by the following when it was realised that Betham had not only provided some earlier generations for the family but also connected it to the family (now shown on the new Langham3) that had been shown on the earlier version of 'Langham2'.]

                               
(1) Note that the Langham that gave its name to this family was in Rutlandshire whereas the family shown in Langham1 was based in Suffolk.
(2) The arms of this family are "argent, three bears' heads erased, sable, muzzled, or".
