Dr Denis Joseph Canny, my G-Grandfather, was the GP/Surgeon in Bega NSW for a few years and then in Robe SA for about 30 years until c1924. He then moved to Melbourne where he died aged 88 in 1928. A former military surgeon with the British Army in India (and elsewhere), he was born in Limerick Ireland 8 Apr 1840.

I have spent something like ten years seeking a photograph of Dr Canny, without luck. There are no family sources available to me that might help and I have been unable to locate anything via the web or on 2 separate visits to Robe itself. I had thought that the local doctor in a country town would have been prominent in local records, but I can find nothing.

I am concluding a major pictorial representation of my family as a present for my daughter's 40th birthday in September and am missing only 2 photographs ..... Dr Denis Joseph Canny and his wife Alice Maud (Atkinson) Canny. I'd really appreciate hearing from anyone that might be able to help or has any useful suggestions.

Thanks for reading.
