The familiy history, dates and such are discussed on my genealogy page.

Gilham Family tree

On the Gilham side there is a more speculative genealogy going back to the mid 18th century. These additions (on the top left) are not yet proven but stand a good chance of being correct as they follow the practise of using King' names, which was followed for several definite generations. Note the variabiliy in the number of 'l's to be found in the surname.
