Hi out there. I am a decedent of the
Nova Scotia Canns and hope that
there may be others of you
researching these lines.
My last Cann to be born in North
Sydney , NS was Henry Vibert CANN
(1875-1949) who was married to Mabel
ROSS (1875-1916).
He was the son of William George
Cann (1841-1884) (married to Elsie
ROBERTS(1850-1909)).
Here's the part that needs
confirmation: William I believe was
the son of Isaac or Henry Cann and
Bridget DOYLE. Some researchers show
her to be married to Canns of both
names and it is probable that this
Henry or Isaac Cann is the son of
Isaac Cann and Hester WILHAUSEN.
All of the N. Sydney Canns seem to
have emanated from Benjamin CANN, an
early Cape Breton settler, but I
want to try to get good
documentation on my Cann ancestors'
connection to that particular
individual and to straighten out
some conflicting versions.
To any of you who might be able to
help, your assistance is greatly
appreciated!
