Lenham family

[Archivist_47]

I was reently sent this scant information - Ernest Henry Lenham born 1927, Then Henry Ernest Lenham born 1900, then Henry Lenham born 1874,then Thomas Mckenzie Lenham born 1805. Ernest was married to Margaret Cameron, Henry Ernest was married to Kathleen Ileen Chancellor, Henry was married to Janet (Jemima) Davidson, Thomas was married to Sarah.  The family came from mostly Wallsend,Northumberland, Bradfore Yorkshire - can anybody throw any more light on the family in that area with links to Australia?
