This website is primarily aimed at those of you researching your BELBIN ancestors but also at those researching the many variant names, especially that of BELBEN, which until the early 18th Century was interchangeable rather than the separate name it has become.

Development of the site is a SLOW ongoing project and if you wish to make any contribution such as providing some ideas as to the origin of the name, passing on some BELBIN family gossip or photographs, repeating family lore or submitting details of your BELBIN ancestry, then please get in touch with me, Terry BELBIN as I will be pleased to hear from anyone if they can help improve and expand on knowledge of our BELBIN ancestry.

I have more data offline than I have yet found time to put online.  My interest in the name is such that I am happy to discuss and share research about any BELBIN family whether it is from the UK or overseas.  My accumulated research which lies partially sorted in my office at home in England may contain information you are looking for.  You, on the other hand may have information, documents, old photographs, etc that I would be very keen to see and perhaps publish here.  Please get in touch and let's see if we can help each other.


Thank you for visiting BelbinMania.

The BELBIN One-Name Study

The BELBIN surname is one of some 7,850 study surnames registered with The Guild of One-Name Studies, a London based charitable organisation dedicated to promoting the public understanding of one-name studies and the preservation and accessibility of the resultant information.  The BELBIN One-Name Study registered under membership No. 2,417 is a project researching facts about the surname and all the people who have held it, as opposed to a particular pedigree or descendancy and I am collecting data from anyone and anywhere in order to be able to publish this information for the benefit of not only people who are currently interested in the name, but also with the aim of trying to preserve it for future generations.  It is a huge project in spite of the fact that the BELBIN surname is a rare one and anyone who wishes to assist with it by contributing information about the Belbins can contact me via e-mail or via the Guild website.  The following variants of the name are all of interest:
