Hello,
I have joined the list in hopes of someone recognizing any of my
ancestors.
In the archives there was a posting by Kathleen that I would like to
repeat, regarding John & Mary ? Cann, born when ? and where ? They did
have 9 children (Ann, John, Mary, Peggy, William, Bella, Lewis,
Charlotte, Priscilla) all born in Launcells, Cornwall from 1810 to 1832
and then they disappear.
From distant relatives and research, I do know that son, William
married
Elizabeth Gregory born ? where ? married ?, and they had 6 children
(James Lewis, John, Henry, Mary Ann, Edwin and Eliza Jane) born from
1845 to 1863. Edwin is my ggrandfather and he was born in Clark
Township, County Durham, Ontario and later moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Where the others were born, married, died is a mystery.
It is difficult obtaining information especially on the Canadian side.
Any info, suggestions would be greatly appreciated. It seems even the
basic facts (to assure that I am requesting and paying for the correct
birth, death, marriage certificates) is unavailable. Am I looking in
the wrong places, or is Canada closed to research.
(BTW, I am Canadian)!
Thanks for letting me carry on.
Judy
