Hi there Aimee, I wonder... My Kelham family came from Maxie near Peterborough I have Matthew bpt 1813 (my umpty ggrandad) and Peter bpt1820 sons and daughter Frances bpt1815 of Ann and William.There was a Henry son of William bapt in1711 at the same church My family changed their name to Kellam during the 1800s when they lived in Sheffield even though Matthew Henry, Matthew's son kept the original spelling on the Census but not in the Trade Directories. Looking in the Census strays showed more Kelhams in the general Deeping area. I will have to take a tour of the area to see what I can find when Im next on Hols.
