Shirley,
I have an awful lot of John Canns in my data, even one born in 1824, but he
was born in Maryland and was not married to Hannah Wilson. I am surprised,
though, that I could not match it, because John seems to repeat itself in
our family, but I am afraid I could not make any connection.
I hope someone else can help you. Maybe if we exchanged some information,
perhaps a GEDCOM, we could find a connection with our lines, I don't know.
Have you checked the Cann board on RootsWeb lately? There is some
information posted there as well, so perhaps you can find something there.
Good luck to you. I hope you can find what you are looking for.

Trying to find their place of origin in England. I believe he had five
brothers, Richard born c1826 in England, Thomas, Isaac, Henry and Samuel
all born in Canada.
John & Hannah had ten children. Mary Ann c1847, Susan Elizabeth
c1850,
William Henry c1852, Emmaline c1854, Samuel Wilson c1856, Catherine Louisa
c 1858, George Alfred 12 April 1861 (my husband's grandfather), Frederick
c1863, Clara T. c1861 and Lucille M. c1869.
If anyone recognizes this branch of the Cann family, I would love to share
information with them.
