Message Board Post:
Interesting to read your message! My father was Wally Cannell, son of Primrose; who'se
father was Frank Cannell who had a fruit and veg business in Fisherton Street Salisbury.
My father was known as Wally as a youngster, but was always Tony Cannell in Wiltshire. My
dad was also brought up by his grandparents in Salisbury. We didn't know any of his
relatives as he left home at 14; some long saga! He was born in Dews Road Salisbury; (a
mother and baby unit at the time) and his mother, Primrose was the eldest of a large
family; couldn't raise him so her parents did. I think she was only 18 when she had
him. I have his birth certificate. Apparently a lot of Cannells in Salisbury and their
fruit and veg business became quite a large distributor. Do feel you can repy; sounds as
though we may have a connection! regards, Fran
