Message Board Post:
Have been tracing ancestors of Davis Canning (and Elizabeth Tanner) history from St
Andrews, Ogbourne, Wiltshire with various English ancestor experts and have traced the
family back through wills and Birth, Marriage and death records back to Pewsey and am now
stuck. Family members folk law say we should be able to get back to John Canninge of
Todenham (his father was Richard Canninge of Foxcote born about 1450)or back to the
Garvagh Cannings.
Last confirmed record.....
PEWSEY
Parish Baptism
1644 Nov 30 - John, son of Thomas CANINS
(taken from transcript by N J Royal, indexed by A E Barnes)
Prior to that, there are some fragentary Bishops Transcripts, but these do not contain any
Canning entries either.
We can only assume that the Cannings were lost in the gaps in these earlier records, or
that the family came from elsewhere.
Any help would be great
Bridget Canning
