I'm back again, hoping to find someone who may know something about my Canham - Meredith family. I have a NARA researcher working on this line, but no breakthrough yet. Grandma said there were 5 CANHAM sibblings who came from England to Canada or the Great Lakes Area, then they split up and went their ways, possibly to NY, IL, WI, PA. One may have been named Louis, but this is not certain. Robert Canham shows up in the 1860 Census in Brooklyn, Alameda, CA. It was not known where the others went, or their names.

Melanie, I just realized, you might be referring to "Charles Jobe Canham" <1841> rather than "Jobe Shadrack H. Canham" <1869>. Charles Jobe, who often went by "Jobe", married Mary Olroyd in 1863. I have a census record on them: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilmaga/census-morg60/237.html 1860 Census Jacksonville, Morgan, Illinois Page 237 CANNON John 55 <1805> M Farmer 800 England CANNON Phoeba 48 <1812> F England CANNON Henry 24 <1836> M Farmer England CANNON Robert 21 <1839> M Farmer England CANNON Joab 17 <1843> M Farmer England CANNON Jonathan 15 <1845> M England CANNON Eliza 13 <1847> F IL CANNON Emma 10 <1850> F IL CANNON William 8 <1852> M England CANNON Louis 6 <1853> M England CANNON Shadrick 22 <1838> M Farmer 400 England CANNON Mary 20 <1840> F IL CANNON Benjamin 4m <Mar 1860> M IL http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/GenealogyMWeb/marrsrch.html Illinois Statewide Marriage Index, 1763-1900 Groom Bride Date Vol./Page License No. County CANHAM, CHARLES OLDROYD, MARY 02/18/1863 C/7 263 MORGAN I have not looked in Ancestry.com for him, but my guess is that he returned to England.
