Hi Lee
At our Genealogy Society found that your Grandfather was one of 4 children born up to 1905
in Western Australia(can not check after that date) to James Albert CANT & Grace Emma
FLETCHER.
They were:Grace Maud b 1899 Geraldton WA, Leslie James b 1900 Greenough WA, Edward Arthur
b 1902 Geraldton WA & Harold Norman b 1905 Geraldton WA.
There is a Website for Cants of Greenough, but I can not tell you where but might be worth
your hunting for it.
Rough notes I have show a William Cant b about 1821/1831 England married in Ireland about
1863( possibly Champion Bay/Limerick?) someone called O'Malley, and they had
Thomas Henry Cant b about 1873 at Greenough and he would be about the right age to be
having children at the time your Leslie was born so there could be a connection
somewhere.
Thats all I know, and any queries I suggest your send ne a message direct to
<cant(a)senet.com.au>. I live in Adelaide, South Australia
