Hi Ruth, I'm sorry to say I don't have your William anywhere. My group didn't move around much until later in the 1800's, and even then they didn't go far. So far I haven't found any variations on the spelling in the Ryton on Dunsmore parish registers and only KELLAMs appear. I checked to see if your William had this spelling, because perhaps if he did move away his accent would have made the name sound different to some clerk. I had this happen with another line and it was 2 years of misery because the names werent' even variations of each other - WALL actually turned out to be WARR. Anyway, no luck I'm afraid. Let me know if there's anything else I can do.
