Hello List, glad to see some action here.
Here are my CANTON's and I would be delighted to hear from anyone with any
connections.
Ann Hurst WRIGHT married Robert William CANTON in 1844, at Camberwell,
Surrey.
Robert was a Lithographer, later an artist in chromo lithography,
lithographic printer and publisher in general, and had premises in the
City at Watling St, Dowgate Hill, College St and Aldersgate.
Robert's father, William Laurence CANTON was a dentist.
Ann's father, William Nicholas WRIGHT was a gentleman from Kan (Cann)
Hall, Wanstead, Essex, but had died by 1846.
Ann had a brother, William Shepherd WRIGHT - he had a bookshop/stationers
next door to Robert CANTON in College St.
Robert and Ann CANTON had 3 children - Jessie (born 1849), Florence (born
1851) and Adelaide (born 1853).
Jessie E CANTON married Geoffrey A Roberts, and they had a daughter Grace
E Roberts and a son Dudley W Roberts.
In 1901, Florence was unmarried (aged 50) and living with her mother Ann,
together with Geoffrey, Jessie and Dudley at 28 Stanthorpe Road,
Streatham. I don't know who Adelaide married.
Robert died in 1893 at 2 Madiera Road, Streatham, and Ann died in 1903. (I
am still searching for their graves).
I would be delighted to hear of any descendants of this family and share
information.
Regards,
Kathy Noble (in Tasmania)
