Message Board Post:
My Irish great grandfather George Babington (1826-1901) had a much older sister (perhaps
half sister?) named Martha Matilda Babington (1807-1904) whose husband was an Arthur
Canning (Abt 1792 - 10 Oct 1860). I suspect Arthur Canning was from either Co. Monaghan or
Co. Cavan in Ireland. Martha and Arthur likely married about 1835 in Ireland. I suspect
the Canning family (son Thomas Babington Canning was born in Ireland in 1836) was in
Ontario, Canada by about 1850. Arthur and Maratha's son Thomas married a Elizabeth
Thompson (Abt 1851 - Bef 1901) in 1877 in Leeds County, Ontario, Canada. Thomas and
Elizabeth had three children: 1. Martha Matilda Canning (1878-); 2. William Arthur Canning
(1879-?); and 3. Margaret (Maggie) Ida Symington nee Canning (1881-1928). These three
Canning's were born North Crosby, Leeds, Ontario, Canada. I recently got the basic
facts on Arthur Canning from a photo of his headstone at the St. Mary's Anglican
graveyard in Newboro, Ontario that was take!
n by a first cousin who lives not too far from Newboro in Ontario. Seeking any
information on this Canning family.
