Släkthistoria för Congram
Congram Vad efternamn betyder
of uncertain origin; apparently an altered form of Congham which occurs earlier than Congram in the same area of N Devon. Congham can be derived from the Norfolk place of that name; compare John Congham 1603 in IGI (Wells next the Sea Norfolk). But the migration of that name to 18th-century Devon is speculative. Alternatively Congham may be a reduced form of the Scottish name Cunningham; several men with this name appear in the 1674 Hearth Tax in Tavistock Okehampton Broadhembury and Whitchurch. The 1544 and 1590 forms cited below may not belong here.
