Son of Rev. Henry Robert Field Canham (1851 - 1931) and Emma Maria James (1851 - 1927) who were married on the 4th January 1877 at St Mary's Church, Edge Hill, Lancashire.
1891 Census - Rev. Canham, aged 5, was living with his parents and siblings, in West Road, Bourn, Lincolnshire.
1901 Census - Rev. Canham who would've been 14 or 15, was a pupil at the Royal Asylum of St Anne's Society, Redhill, Reigate, Surrey. The school was a charitable society that provided "education and instruction in religious and useful knowledge agreeable to the formularies of the Church of England, as well as clothing, maintenance, and a home for legitimate children of parents who had seen better days, and have moved in a superior station in life. At this time in the young Rev. Canham's life, his father was in considerable debt, which is probably why he was sent to the Royal Asylum of St Anne's Society.
1911 Census - Rev. Canham was a Theolology student at the college in Burgh le Marsh, Nr Skegness, Lincolnshire.
