Information of Duns Tew, Oxfordshire

[Linda Pritchard]

Was wondering if anyone could help with my research on Joseph Beasley Canning born circa 1843 I believe to Jane Canning in Duns Tew, Oxfordshire. 

Jane went on to marry Richard Weston Simkins and Joseph Beasley Canning married an Elizth. Hannah Woolams.  Elizabeth died in 1870 and Joseph ended up in South Wales and married an Ellen Wixey in 1884.

Grateful for any help.

Wow !  Thank you  very much for all the information - it was so kind of you to share this with me. 

I don't have the funds at present to purchase a subscription to look at the census returns and so have been working on what I could find on the free CEN and also the Family Search 1881 census - so have not unearthed a great deal. 

Really surprised by the 1891 census Elizabeth Hannah is still alive and living with her children as on the 1881 census I have found their children all living separately with various members of the family, and had wrongly assumed that Elizabeth had died.  Death entry in the Fbmd index.    I was also struggling as on the various census indexes there are two Joseph Cannings, both around the same age, both born in Duns Tew - one an Ag Lab and the other a wheelwright. 

Oh! how we all love family history!!!!

Again, many, many thanks for the time and effort taken to send me all the info.

Gracious me I have a Susanna Mary Simkins in Duns Tew but mine was born in 1845 daughter of Richard Weston SIMKINS and his wife Jane nee CANNING There must be a relationship.
