My George Cann was a Coachbuilder/wheelwright in London. I am not aware of the family
connection with Roll Royce. He appears to be with his brother Robert, coach trimmer in
Ireland between 1859 & 1867. They were both born in St Thomas, Exeter. George on the
15/3/1829. They are of 7 siblings. Abraham is a coach painter, James is a harness
maker, & William is an iron moulder. Abraham & James also appear in London.
George Cann has a son, James who is also a coach/wheelwright painter. Whether he continued
his father George's business. I know not. Should you feel that they are the same
George Cann, I would be very interested in any information you have. I have more details
of their early ancestry. I am the GG Grandson of George Cann (1829) Regards, Rob.
