"1. [Edward ?]D Wickham was probably the husband of the 'Joan Wickans, wife of Edward, householder,' who was buried at North Mundham in 1591, the day and month not recorded. Record of his own burial has not been found, and it is not clear whether it was he or his presumed son Edward who was listed as a tenant in the earliest appearance of the Wickham name on the rolls of the manor of Fisher and Brimfast in 1591. The rolls indicate that the court of 20 July 1607 was held at the 'mansion house' of Edward Wekeham, a customary tenant, and John Wekeham, son of Edward, was also listed. Until further evidence may be found, this probable Edward Wickham is presumed to be the father of (John Wickham and Edward Wickham)"
