Hello Jan,
I can only get back to 1774 with Thomas Cannons. He was born in Old Alresford. There are a
number of James Cannons born to others in that branch of the family. In Old Alresford a
Henry and Mary Cannons had a number of girls baptized. They would probably have been born
around the 1750s, as they had children beginning in at least 1777, when they had Mary
baptized at St. John the Baptist in New Alresford, followed by Elizabeth in 1779, and Anne
in 1782. There was a James born in 1781 in Alresford, and my Thomas. It is possible that
these were sons of Henry and Mary, though why they wouldn't baptize the boys there as
well I don't know. It is also possible that Henry was a brother to your James, and
that both came from somewhere else.
Please let me know if you discover any Cannons "Homeland." I will do the same.
Thanks,
Laurel
