Hannah Cann (later Soley) from Kempton, Gloucestershire

richardwestsoley — 14 Jun 2008 10:47:20 GMT

Hi,

I'm looking for information about Hannah Cann, born in Kempton, Gloucestershire about 1827. She later moved to Stourbridge, Worcestershire and married Richard Soley. The strange thing is, I can't find any record of her home town Kempton, as recorded in the 1851 Census when she was already living in Stourbridge.

Any information very gratefully received!

Thanks

Cann's from Ohio

Robin Moulton — 5 Aug 2006 1:53:47 GMT

Hello again, I am still looking for my Cann family, I have recently discovered little tidbits I thought I would toss out to see if anyone knows anything more. I am a descendent of Josephine Cann born: 30 Apr 1854. I believe she was born in Brown Co., OH and she died in KY, 25 Dec 1887. On the 1870 census she and all her siblings except 1 are living with a Mrs. Wright (no relation as far as I can tell)

On the 1860 census all of the children, Franklin W. "Frank" Cann b:abt 1849; Rebecca Jane "Jane" Cann b: abt 1852; (my) Josephine Cann b: 1854; Charles "Charlie" Cann b: abt 1857; and Catherine Cann b: abt 1859, are with their parents David Cann b: abt 1827 and Dulie or Nella (depending on which census 1860/1850) b: abt 1832.

Josephine married Oliver Bercaw of Ripley, Brown, OH. I have contacted the Brown county court house and they do not have any records regarding the marriage or guardianship of Josephine and her siblings.

If anyone has any information, I seem to be at a (hopefully temporary) stopping point, I would apprieciate all/ or any help, suggestions of where to look next even. Thanks in advance. Robin

CANN in Ontario

HibbardM — 13 Oct 2004 5:06:56 GMT

I have begun the long process of doing a "one-name study" on the name CANN in Ontario public record, beginning 1869. I have recorded all the B-M-D's in public record INDEX, and have begun the process to identify the FILM NUMBERS for each record. Then I can look up the actual REGISTRATIONS. Our local Family History Centre in Edmonton Alberta has almost all the early films, since most western settlers came through Ontario.
I am working on marriages first and have transcribed marriages from 1869 up to 1885 to date.
I am willing to share with anyone who will identify to me their own family line so that I can place these in the correct lines. I can send you film number, registration number and basic information that was included in registration.

Thomas CANN & spouse Sallie, in Ontario

HibbardM — 2 Sep 2005 12:17:20 GMT

I have three records of a Thomas Cann and spouse Sallie, in Ontario. I suspect that they are all the same family.

Would like confirmation from anyone researching the same family.

#1 From a posted pedigree file
Thomas Cann (s/o Thomas Cann & Mary)
married to Sallie
no dates given

#2 From 1881 Ontario census listing
Thomas Cann, b. abt 1822, born in England
Residence York East, Ontario
Spouse listed as Sallie Cann, b. abt 1831, also born in England
Son listed, Harry Cann, b. abt 1862, born in Ontario

#3 Marriage record
Thomas Cann, b. about 1824, widower
married on May 27, 1874, in Durham Co, Ontario to
Sallie Francis, b. abt 1831 in Cornwall, England

I suspect that these three are definitely the same family.

I am guessing that a fourth record might be the same one as well.

#4 From Wesleyan Methodist Baptismal Register, details found online - this could be the same Thomas CANN with first spouse (see son named Harry, b. same year as above)

Children born to Thomas CANN and Elizabeth, Darlington Twp, Durham Co (same county as above marriage)

Georgina, b. Aug 27, 1851
John, b. Jul 10, 1856
Thomas, b. Jan 29, 1858
Nathan , b. Oct 4, 1859
Harry, b. Apr 12, 1862 (same year as Harry above)

QUESTION - Are these all the same family?

Cann arrival in Yarmouth

decann — 1 Apr 2003 12:02:28 GMT

I have been researching my Cann line for many years now, and I have yet to find the name of the first Cann to immigrate from England, nor do I have the ship he/she arrived on. It has always been my understanding that the first arrival was in Yarmouth, but I cannot even be positive of that because some of the Canns also settled in New England in present day America. With all of the influential Cann ancestors of Yarmouth, from sea captains to wealthy businessmen, surely there should be some record of the first arrival somewhere. I will be happy to exchange information with anyone.

In honor of our webmaster's new Cann, and, frankly, my inability to find my old ones, I ask for help!

James Cann, 26, appears in 1850 census for Monroe Co IL as head of houshold with Tabitha, 15 (he married Tabitha L. Kinney 25 Dec 1849), and Alexander Cann, 21 and John Cann, 19, who I believe are his brothers. In the 1840 census for Monroe Co IL there is an older James Cann (40-50) as head of a household with 8 other males and 3 females. In the 1830 census for St. Clair Co IL there is a James Cann, 20-30, with 2 males under 5 and 1 female 20-30.
