Hi,
My 3x Great Grandmother was called Martha Cann, she was born 24/08/1842 in Hampshire Over
Wallop. I believe that her parents were George Cann and Mary Pike but I have no
confirmation of this nor any additional details on them.
I do know that Martha married a Thomas Padwick and then when he died in 1884 she married
their lodger, 9 years her junior a Charles Hayter.
Thomas and Martha had 10 children:
Sarah b 21/05/1857
Ann b 11/04/1859
* Henry Charles b ??/02/1861
Harry b 02/05/1863 Hampshire Over Wallop
William b 03/02/1866 Hampshire Over Wallop
* Henry Charles b 17/10/1869 Lower Wyke Hampshire
Sydney b 01/03/1871 Hampshire Over Wallop
Elizabeth b 09/08/1874 Hampshire Over Wallop (Elizabeth b9th August 1873, known as Tit.
lived in Over Wallop and had a son who lived in West Canada)
Walter b 02/08/1875 Hampshire Over Wallop
Frank b 01/09/1878 Hampshire Neither Wallop (Had Ella and Fred last known living in Avon
Court, Pool Road, Branksome, Poole)
* It looks like they had two sons called Henry Charles, one born Feb 1861 and the other
born 17th October 1869, but one was known as Charles and the other Henry. Charles died in
Bournemouth and had sons Fred, Harry, and daughters Hilda, Grace and Bertha.
Any link to your Cann's from the area?
Kind regards
Tina
