Lankham was born in Ireland in 1830 before the family moved to Scotland. He went to New Zealand in the 1850s.[3] A round-arm medium-pace bowler, he was a member of Auckland's first first-class team, which toured the country in November-December 1873, winning all three first-class matches.[3][4]
Lankham and his son William both played in the Auckland team against the touring Australians in February 1881.[5] William had a short but successful cricket career for Auckland before dying of tuberculosis aged 24.
Lankham died after an illness at his son-in-law's house in Devonport, Auckland, in November 1908, aged 78.[3]
