Hi

Could anyone look up a Cank family from Leicester. I think the parents are Edward and Sarah.

Also I have a James Cank born in Leicester 1833 on the 1881 census, any idea who his parents were would be great.

Regards Carla.

Are you jumping backwards from the 1881 census in the hope that Edward and Sarah are the parents of James?

Do you have the marriage certificate for James Cank and Mary?

Are we right in assuming that it is the James Cank living in 38 Navigation Place, Leicester St Margaret in 1881, that is the one you are interested in?

Below are the full details to assist anybody trying to search.

James Cank Head M 49 Framework Knitter

Hi

Thank you for all the info, thats brilliant. My ancestor is Alfred Cank born about 1833. I thought James could be his brother but couldn't find out for sure.

Thanks again
Carla.
