Do you have the birth and death date of your father? Was he your grandfather's first
child? Did you tell me the name of your grandfather in that first message...if not, name
of Canning Grandfather and his wife (the mother of your father).. Did you ever meet your
Canning Grandfather or was he dead by the time you came along. What were the names of his
children (your father's siblings) in order of birth. I have cousins in
Biscester...not Cannings tho. So. I have been to Oxfordshire to visit with them. I am
thinking of the 1881, 1891 Census for your jCannings and the 1901 Census as soon as they
get on line (they have been working on it since January 2nd when the whole system went
down due to too many people (millions) trying to get on at the same time. All over the
world, people were poised at their computers for the first day the 1901 Census was to be
on line.
Give me a few details and I will see what Cannings I can find for you. Have been doing
this since 1978 and have run down a lot of Cannings, some hiding, some not. Tis a passion
of mine.
Married, 73, living in paradise
