Alas the English origins of Bartholomew Heath have not yet been discovered. In 1990 the New England Genealogical Society did comprehensive review of the family of Bartholomew Heath. The study was published in the volume:

Smith, Dean Crawford; Melinde Lutz Sanborn, The Ancestry of Samuel Blanchard Ordway (Boston, Massachusetts: New England Historic Genealogical Society, c1990) pages 311-319

The book is still under copyright but luckily Boston Public Library has made it available for a 14 day borrow period via archive.org with free registration:

The authors, Dean Crawford Smith and Melinde Lutz Sanborn and of the very finest of their geneation and also worked on the Great Migration Study Project. So their work is authoritative. They did a search of the English origin of each immigrant and could not establish the origins or parents of Bartholomew Heath. However, the chapter continues on via their son Josiah Health who I see is your ancestor and includes his son John Heath. So this book if you haven't read it would be of interest as they review numerous court, probate and other related records.

It is interest that a John Heath of Haverhill in his will dated 28 Dec 1674 proved 10 Apr 1675 left bequests to the children of Barthowlomew Heath. John had no children of his own.

His wife Alice Bartholomew of Salisbury was not the daughter of Thomas Bartholomew and Alice Corderoy. Thomas Bartholomew and Alice Corderoy were born about 1510/1511 and married by say 1532. Thomas died by 1573 and Alice married second to Robert Elliott. They were too old to be her parents. See The American Genealogist 73:189
