Notes for Elizabeth CANHAM

Information received from Peter Murray in 1997 shows that, according to Campling's "East Anglian Pedigrees," Elizabeth Canham, daughter of William and Helen Canham of Lowestoft, was married in Lowestoft November 26, 1668, to Robert Sherington of Lowestoft, who was christened January 28, 1643-4 and buried October 9, 1701 (Admon.). She was then married for the second time in Lowestoft in 1704 to Robert Dewing of Haddescoe Norfolk. The research of Mrs. Pamela Cole instead makes Elizabeth Canham the daughter, christened in Lavenham Suffolk in 1645, of Francis Canham (or Kanham) who would appear to be a brother of our William. Her source is not stated and Campling's account seems quite authoritative, so perhaps more likely, since William died when she was only 4, she may have been raised by her uncle Francis Canham.
