There were two Job Canhams. Job H. Canham born in 1866 married Minnie Hewitt. He was the son of Robert and Sarah Webb Canham. Robert was the son of Jonathan and Phebe Bailey Canham. Job William was born in England in 1843. He was the son of Jonathan and Phebe as well. I know that he died before 1903 but I don't know anything else about him. Family history has it that he went to Canada but I haven't found him there either. Jonathan was the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Darkin Canham and Thomas was the son of Thomas and Ann Roper. Thomas and Ann were married in 1772 in Wicken,Cambridgeshire, England.
