Dear Pam, i came across your old posting when i was trying to find out about my mothers
family history (my mother also named Pam!!!)is the daughter of Carlisle Martineau Canning
(son of Moses canning from Isle of Man) & Dorothy Verity. My mothers parents met on
ship from the UK going to the US & married in Texas in the early 1920's. My mother
& her 2 brothers were born in Texas & Santa Barbara California in the 1920's.
My mother tells me that her father was always reluctant to discuss his family history,
although she knows he went to Rugby school in the UK (won a queens prize) & served
with the UK military in Persia (Iraq) prior to meeting his wife (my grandmother Dorothy).
I have come across the death notice for Moses Canning through the attached link which
indicates that "Mr Moses Canning, of Cronkbourne-road, Douglas, passed away at his
residence on Dec. 29th, 1912."

I would love to hear from you if you receive this & have any further information.
regards
Chris Coney chrisconey(a)iprimus.com.au
