Hi Betty, I would also like to know how to obtain wills. I have: George Canning, b.1760
& Mary Ann Canning, b.1775. They might have a possible son James M. Canning, b.1795.
And a definite son William Sterling Canning, b. May 29, 1810. On a bible page I have
George & Mary Ann Canning sailing from the city of Londonderry, Ireland, and landed in
America in 1811.(They settled in Allegheny, Co., West Deer, Twp., PA). My great
grandmother always told me the Canning's were from England. (I have not found this
connection as of yet.)
My family records indicate a possible relation to Prime Minister George Canning. I am
taking things step by step, and confirming all findings. Now that I have definite proof
That George & Mary Ann Canning are my gggg grandparents and now have their dates of
birth, I am a little lost on how to search over the oceans. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks, D. Ferguson- FERGCOMP(a)aol.com
