Hampshire & IOW Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Thomas Canning pre 1871 Census
« on: Thursday 16 March 17 20:30 GMT (UK) »
Hi there,
I will definitely try to locate the picture now. I used to look at it and wonder who these people were. I'm excited to think I am getting close to matching names with faces! I'm just starting out researching the family, so I'm still quite a novice. It gets confusing when the same names were used for both men and women over the generations. I'm assuming Cannon got changed to Canning in the US but would love to know. Also, I believe Thomas made his way to US via Novia Scotia first where he met May Riley. I'm curious if other siblings left England. I seem to think Emily did. These are all questions for your friend. My great-great gf Thomas and Jane were siblings.
