I have three records of a Thomas Cann and spouse Sallie, in Ontario. I suspect that they
are all the same family.
Would like confirmation from anyone researching the same family.
#1 From a posted pedigree file
Thomas Cann (s/o Thomas Cann & Mary)
married to Sallie
no dates given
#2 From 1881 Ontario census listing
Thomas Cann, b. abt 1822, born in England
Residence York East, Ontario
Spouse listed as Sallie Cann, b. abt 1831, also born in England
Son listed, Harry Cann, b. abt 1862, born in Ontario
#3 Marriage record
Thomas Cann, b. about 1824, widower
married on May 27, 1874, in Durham Co, Ontario to
Sallie Francis, b. abt 1831 in Cornwall, England
I suspect that these three are definitely the same family.
I am guessing that a fourth record might be the same one as well.
#4 From Wesleyan Methodist Baptismal Register, details found online - this could be the
same Thomas CANN with first spouse (see son named Harry, b. same year as above)
Children born to Thomas CANN and Elizabeth, Darlington Twp, Durham Co (same county as
above marriage)
Georgina, b. Aug 27, 1851
John, b. Jul 10, 1856
Thomas, b. Jan 29, 1858
Nathan , b. Oct 4, 1859
Harry, b. Apr 12, 1862 (same year as Harry above)
QUESTION - Are these all the same family?
