(Redirected from Haslam (name))

Haslam is a surname originating in England since the Anglo Saxons. One source says it originated from a village in Lancashire that doesn't exist anymore called Haesel-hamm which is Old English for Hazel-Wood Farm. Another is Hasland in Derbyshire, which makes sense because records show the surname originated from the county before emigrating to Oxfordshire in the 15th century and later to Lancashire where the surname is most common, strongly around Bolton.. William Haslam (1563-1592) was married to Alice Woodfall, sister to Lady Margareta Woodfall whom married Sir William Thomas Parr, son to William Parr, Marquess of Northampton and nephew to Katharine Parr, King Henry VIII's sixth and last wife. Haslam began appearing in Ireland after Oliver Cromwell's conquest in the mid-17th century, and in the early 19th century have emigrated to Canada and the United States, mostly around Maryland and Pennsylvania before later moving to Tennessee and the west coast. Convicts with Haslam around that time were sent to Tasmania and New South Wales in Australia, and later immigrants arrived in Adelaide, South Australia and New Zealand.
