Just starting to look into our Canning side.
I have Patrick Canning b. abt. 1821? Ireland (laborer) married Maria (Mahan?) b. Aug. 1840
Ireland. No marr record yet.
2 daughters listed on 1881 census.
Sarah b. abt. 1863 and
Ellen b. March 1868. (My great grandmother)
On the 1881 british census Maria is listed as being 60 yrs old which is incorrect, so I
don't know if Patrick's age is also incorrect.
They lived on Jordan St. Liverpool in 1881 but not in 1891.
Ellen Canning lived on Gore Street Liverpool in 1887 when she married James Hughes.
They had their first daughter Ellen Jan. 1890 in England.
I think they came to Providence RI abt 1890 - 91.
Maria Canning - mother-in-law lived with them at the 1900 US Census in Providence, RI. so
Patrick Canning must have passed away before then possibly in Liverpool.
Any connections?
