Life
[edit]Ingham was born in Bermuda, the seventh child and third son of Samuel Saltus Ingham, Speaker of the House of Assembly of Bermuda.[1] He was educated at Bishop's College School in Canada and Christ's College, Cambridge[citation needed] — gaining his Cambridge Master of Arts (MA Cantab) —, and ordained in 1877. He was Organizing Secretary of the Church Missionary Society (CMS) for West Yorkshire[2] and then Vicar of St Matthew's, Leeds[3] until his appointment to the episcopate as the fifth Bishop of Sierra Leone.[4][5]
On returning to England he was Rector of Stoke-next-Guildford from 1897 to 1904, Home Secretary of the CMS until 1912 and finally Vicar of St Jude's, Southsea. At some point, he became a Doctor of Divinity (DD).
