Hi Maggi
Really sorry, but I don't think I can help, although if you have any Cannell info
going further back ...
My family Cannell connection ends with Sarah Cannell who was born in Bethnal Green,
London in 1828. She was still alive at the 1901 census. She and her ancestors were all
connected with the silk weaving industry in the East End of London and I know she had a
brother Thomas, but am not sure about any other siblings and have no info of any
emigrating to Australia, I'm afraid.
I know there is a branch of Cannells in the Isle of Man and also in Ireland, I believe.
My branch came from Normandy in France as a result of religious persecution (Huguenots).
I hope you find some (more) useful information - these brickwalls are so frustrating,
aren't they?

Just thought I would post my brickwall again.
Eric Wilfred CANNELL was born about 1919 in Randwick NSW to William Louis and
Ethel Maud CANNELL.
He lived with my aunt Olive Elizabeth CARMICHAEL around 1943-1945 but they were
living in Hurstville in 1944 when they had a daughter Vera Maureen. Olive died
in 1945 when they were living in Campbelltown and Eric in 1972 in Casino but he
was living Lismore at the time.
I have found that Vera Maureen CARMICHAEL used the name MEDCALF until 1973
His sister Vera Maude CANNELL was born about 1916 and married Thomas Wilcox
McMULLEN/S about 1930 at Randwick.
Hoping there is a relative out there that will have some information no matter
how miniscule.
