Hello all I apologize if I this has already been discussed. (Please point the way/paste the URL) My question for those of you with connections to E. Sheldon & Co. / Cannon / Cannon Cosely is this. What Cannon archives still exist? And a follow-up question, the Hudson Bay Company, probably smaller than Cannon but on the main line of history for it's many outposts and corporate colonies, has a few Museums holding its archives in Canada. Also there is one in Vancouver Oregon. Has Cosely (or anywhere else) something for Cannon? Thank you Bob C. Oceanside Calif.

I was most intrigued by your inquiry into the subject. Listing you said that there was something in Vancouver, Oregon. Having lived in Oregon all my life I decided to see if such a place exists. There is no Vancouver, Oregon (USA) though right across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon 'is' Vancouver, Washington (USA). In the Northwest we differentiate between the two Vancouvers with either Vancouver USA (sometimes Washington is used in place of USA) or Vancouver BC (British Columbia). -john Springfield, Oregon (USA) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Cooper" <sierrasnow@cox.net> To: <ENG-BLACK-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2006 17:13 Subject: [B.C.] Sheldon Cannon Cosely > Hello all > I apologize if I this has already been discussed.

Hello Bob, Just catching up on messages. Try this site http://www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/leisure_culture/libraries/archives/workshop/ In the March 2006 issue is reference to Cannon Industries. "Documenting the Workshop of the World" is an on-going project undertaken by The Black Country Archives Services, namely Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall & Wolverhampton. Hope this helps Regards Jean > Hello all > I apologize if I this has already been discussed. (Please point the way/paste the URL) My question for those of you with >connections to E.
