    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: VNMIM Surnames: CANN LOCK Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.som.general/12898.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello: I sent you a reply to this query (the query appeared on the Somerset List). I had not read your original message only the reply you received...so some of the information was incorrect. However, I did find Robert Cann married Catherin Lock in North Molton, DEVON. This was on the LDS site. The batch number is M522811. The date is 13 May 1821. I also found them in the 1851 census. In 1851 census the family was living in the civil parish of Exford, the Ecclesiastic parish of Bath and Wells, in the county of SOMERSET. Catherine is listed as age 57, born about 1794, in North Molton, DEVON. Robert is listed as born in 1779 so he was about 15 years older than Catherine. His birthplace is given as Exford, SOMERSET. Exford is nine miles from North Malton. Children living with them in 1851 are Michael, born 1842 and John, born 1822. Both were listed as born in Molland, DEVON. Molland is about 7 miles from Exford, SOMERSET. I didn't find George in the 1851 census and now reading your message I can see why. I looked for Robert's christening/birth on the LDS site but couldn't find him. However, Catherine's parents were Margaret and George. Catherine also had a brother Michael and a sister Betty. IGI batch number is C052281. You might find Robert's birth in the parish transcripts. I'll have a quick look and will send you another message if I find him. Hope this helps. kind regards Valerie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
