Hi Sarah
I researched this family for a friend several years ago and this is what I
found:
John CANNELL's parents - Thomas CANNELL and Christian CANNON, married 14 Dec
1790, Kirk Michael
John had a brother William born 1791
Elinor CAINE's parents - John CAINE and Joney CANNELL, married 15 July 1777,
Kirk Michael
John and Joney had 8 children.
John (c1795-1874) and Elinor (c1796-1841) married 30 Oct 1815 Kirk Michael,
had 12 children, two older than those in the 1841 census - John born 1816
and Thomas born 1818. My friend is a descendant of Thomas (1818-1899 IOM),
through his son John (1848-1928 IOM), then his son George Douglas (1895
IOM - 1969 NZ).
I hope this helps and I can give you more information on these families if
you would like it. If you find I have made a mistake, please let me know,
researching CANNELL on the Isle of Man is like researching SMITH anywhere
else and it's easy to go astray!

I'm trying to find the parents of my 3rd great-grandfather, Henry 'Harry'
Cannell. According to records and his gravestone, he came to the United
States in 1854 from the Isle of Man. He was married in Illinois to an
unknown woman. In Illinois, my 2nd great grandfather was born, Charles
Seymour Cannell. Looks like Charles Seymour and his wife, Margaret Ray
lived in Colorado and Michigan for a while. My great grandfather, Wesley
McCoy Cannell, was born in Colorado. Colorado is also where My 3rd great
grandfather, Harry, died. The Cannell's ended up settling in Missouri
where Charles Seymour, Margaret ray, and Wesley McCoy are all now buried.
On my 3rd great grandfathers gravestone it lists his birth as September
1st 1830 and his place of birth as Kirk Michael, Isle of Man. His father
was John Cannell and his mother Elinor Cain(e). I'm having the HARDEST
time trying to figure out who John Cannell and Elinor Caine's parents
were. I think I found them on a census for 1841 and the!
re is a Henry around the same age as my Henry. This would put john and
elinor being born around 1895. According to the census of1841:
Michael, Isle of Man
John Cannell 45 ag laborer
Eleanor 45
thomas 23 ag lab
William 21 do
Margaret 15
Cath 12
Henry 12
George 8
elizabeth 5
Edw 2
Jane 4m
all born Isle of Man
Does anyone have any information on this family?
