Laurence Kellam was first mentioned as student at the English College (then at Reims), where he received his first tonsure in March 1584 and left for England in 1587 (Douay College Diaries, 200, 216). In late October 1587 he was fined "for not going to church, chapel or any usual place of Common Prayer", being described as a yeoman (Middlesex Sessions Rolls, 1587). According to a testimony of 1600, Kellam was involved in the reception of priests in England, furnishing "them with money and other needful provisions" (Calendar of the manuscripts of the Marquis of Salisbury, X, 203). In October 1595 Kellam received permission to start a printing office in Louvain. It is unkown when or where he was trained as a printer. It was most likely in Leuven that he married Marguerite Lanseart (a native of the Low Countries), as his eldest son Thomas was born there in 1595/6. In 1600 the Kellams moved their business to Valenciennes and subsequently to Douai in 1603, where they were established in the rue Saint-Jacques, "At the sign of the holie Lamb" (French: "A l'enseigne de l'Agneau Pascal"). The last sign of Kellam's activity in Douai is from 21 May 1613, the date of a Quaestio theologica issued with his imprint. From 29 November 1613 the account books of the Officina Plantinina in Antwerp (Museum Plantin Moretus, Arch., 129/82 and 1076/37v-38r) mention the name of his widow Lanseart. So, Lawrence most probably died between late May and late November 1613. His widow managed the printing house (in 1618-19 in collaboration with his eldest son Thomas) and between 1620 and 1661 his son Lawrence (II) took over. Another son, Bernard, was canon in Valenciennes in 1635. Starting from 1603 Kellam produced several editions for the Douai publishers Balthazar Bellère and Pierre Borremans. These bear an ornament with the initials "L. K.".
