Edward Walter Bonham

Edward Walter Bonham, E. M. Delafield’s great-grandfather, was born in High Canons, Shenley in Hertfordshire on 24 November 1809. He was the fourth son and arrived in the middle of the nine children of his parents Henry and Charlotte Bonham (see my post on the Bonhams for more about them). Throughout this post I’ll call him Edward Walter, to distinguish him clearly from his son Edward William.
