Looking for descendants of these Cannings, who were brothers, all sons of Meriones
(Marinus, Manners, Marcus, Maximus) Francis (Frederick) Alfred Canning, who was born in
France or England. We refer to him as MFA Canning. He used the name Alfred most of his
life. His wife, Elizabeth Ann Morgan, was the sister of the Morgan Brothers who developed
Iron Mountain into Gold Mountain (Mount Morgan), Australia's richest gold mine.
Algernon (Charles Felix Algernon Stratford) Canning, also known as Algy, went to Oxford
Univ, probably in law.
There may be another brother named Alfred, or perhaps this was Algy. Alfred travelled
with MFA his father, and probably worked closely with him in his business life, which
included many endeavors, and many voyages to and from England, India and Australia.
See our website,
http://www.lionsgrip.com/family.html for current details.
I'm descended from Raftan Canning, MFA's brother, we believe. We have some
documents, but not all, to verify this relationship.
I welcome all inquiries and information.
