Thomas and George Cant were two brothers who migrated to South Australia around 1850 from
Kimbolton (Bedfordshire?) and George was my ancestor. The family came from Great
Staughton originally and the grave of their father Thomas is in the Great Staughton
churchyard.
Earlier links are to Bulwick and Harringworth (further north between Corby and Stamford).
George, Thomas and Griffin are the most common family names for many generations and Lincs
is relatively close to their home. I think there may well be a link.
