>George Canton, who emmigrated to NZ with his brother John Canton.
George Married a Mary Roberts.<<
This is an intriguing part to the story as far as I can tell because Mary Roberts is the
daughter of Elizabeth Griffiths (a ggg grandmother of mine). I think Elizabeth is the
sister of Priscilla although I can't remember why I think that - the ages don't
seem to quite match up.
Mary's father, James Roberts, was Elizabeth's second husband (her first was welsh
man Robert Wynne who died accidentally - in the mines I think when he was quite young).
Mary's half brothers are John (my gg grandfather) and William Win who were pioneering
settlers in the Nelson area (Dovedale in particular).
Does anyone have a firm record for Elizabeth's birthplace? I have her born in Wales
and also born in Somerset or Wiltshire.
Love to share info but I on only on a free account so I can't see anyone else's
stuff unless invited.
