I think you will find that all the Christian names are in LATIN.
Is that making you think that Bassingham is not an English name?

This is an English locational surname. It originates from the small village of Bassingham near Kesteven in the county of Lincolnshire. Most locational surnames are 'from' names. That is to say that they are, or rather were, 'names' given to people who moved from their original homes, to somewhere else. This could be the next village, or in the case of English people it was often London, the only large city in the country and the only place that many country folk would have any knowledge of at all. The name Bassingham means 'The place (ham) of the Bass people (ing)', a pre 7th century tribe, whose name is also found in such place as Bassingbourn (Lincolnshire) and Bassenthwaite in Cumberland, as examples. In this case the surname is well recorded in Lincolnshire. Early examples of the recording include: John Basingham, a christening witness at Spalding on February 5th 1577, and the almost exactly similar recording of Reginalde, the son of Jhon Bassingame, also at Spalding, and only two months later on April 14th 1577. Other examples are William Bassingham of Upton, Lincolnshire, on February 8th 1718, and John and Anne Bassingham, whose daughter Mary Anne, was christened at Holbeach, on September 11th 1812.

Chris :)

From a handwritten tree I have a William Little b. 1700 Eye Northants who married a Bridget Bassingham. born about 1705 (place not known)
Date of marriage 26 May 1724 Etton (found on IGI years ago but cannot find now when I look).
I found a christening on Ancestry of a Brigetta Bassingham 21
July 1700 Glatton Hunts I wonder if this is her...
Her parents were Gulielmi Bassingham and Mariam Richardson
What nationality is Bassingham?
Thanks to those who offer a suggestion.
