My great great great grandfather was James Canham, born c.1801 in Trimley, Suffolk. He was a coast guard and moved around the country a fair bit - his wife Lucy was born in Deal, Kent, their eldest children were born in Pembroke, and the family later settled in Devon, which is where their other children were born and also where he died. At least three of his sons became seamen, one of them in the Royal Navy.
I would be very interested to hear of any earlier history of the Canham family in Suffolk, especially if you know how James Canham could be linked to them.
