Buckinghamshire / Cannon of Waddesdon
« on: Sunday 10 July 11 16:30 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,
I am looking for the marriage or birth certificate of a Richard Cannon or Canon, the father of Samuell born 1635 in Waddesdon. I can't find any Cannon's in Waddesdon before the birth of Samuell, but I can't find a matching Richard/Mary marriage anywhere either! The closest I have managed is a Richard Canon marriage to a Susanna 23 Feb 1634 in Great Munden,Hertford,England. The date matches roughly but not the name of the spouse and the location is quite distant. Can anyone do any better than me? A Richard Canon marriage to Mary in Bucks around 1635 would be excellent! Thank you!

1997 sounds about spot on I think. Not sure on the birth, but my previous estimates were more a vague memory than anything, so 1912 could well be accurate. Llanelli(y) sounds good also as they lived close by in Gorseinon.

Thank you so much, you've been an excellent help!

It's a complete mystery. Perhaps they missed him? or maybe lied about his details? Thank you for trying!

Although it now seems as though records of a Lachlan are sketchy to non-existant.  Really need to find an earlier census record of birth for Duncan.

bingo, found a tree that matches on ancestry. apparently Isabella's surname was Frewin, and Duncan's father's name was Lachlan. marriage matches (1870) on the tree also..

Think he must've married Isabella in 1870

Name: Duncan Travers
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1870
Registration district: Westminster
Inferred County: London
Volume Number: 1a

They were approx 17 and 30 when they married, which sort of suggests he might have been married previously or possibly away at sea or something for the previous censuses? His son was listed as a sailor at one point later, think it was 1901, so could be a clue as to what Duncan was up to. Still doesn't explain the lack of information in earlier censuses when he would have been growing up.

31 in 1871 and 41 in 1881. Birth year is listed as circa 1840.

Think I've found him in 1871 listed as Duncan Traves, born Scotland, married to Isabella on findmypast.

Hello All,
I am looking for information on a Duncan Travers, who is listed in the 1881 census as living on the Portobello Road, London, and listed in the same census as born in Inverness/Invernesshire. He was at that time also married to an Isabella, with four children - Edith H., Charles D., Beatrice and Horace B. His profession is listed as Clicker (Boot).
However, prior to 1881 I am unable to find any record of him atall. Any ideas?
Thanks guys,
Duncan
