Graduated MA from Edinburgh University on 27 February 1694. First appointed minister at Penrith, Cumberland. Coningham received his ordination in August 1694 as a licentiate of the Church of Scotland. In May 1699 he was suggested as a successor to Timothy Manlove as minister of Mill Hill Chapel at Leeds; instead Coningham accepted accepted a post at Cross Street Manchester as co-pastor and as an assistant in the academy in 1700. Coningham, however, faced local hostility for being a dissenter and faced doctrinal divisions within the congregation. He moved to London as minister of Haberdasher Hall. Ill health led to death on 1 September 1716. Buried in Bunhill Fields, London.
