Hi John,
So glad to meet you after all this time searching. I have done an extensive Cannon family tree & would be happy to share this with all relatives. Thomas Cannon, married to Sarah Monaghan was my grandfather John's brother. John migrated to Western Australia. Recently I posted his story on a website called "Streets of East Fremantle".If you Google it you can read about John Cannon & his daughter Sister Benedicta Cannon.
I have been stuck advancing any research on his brother Thomas for some time now - only last week discovered the name of Thomas's wife. I had some of the children's names, but little else. My Aunt Lilian Bowden (nw deceased) visited son John's wife Jeanie sometime in the 1980's & I got her address & some details from Lil's travel diary.
I am Kim Cannon - granddaughter of John Cannon & Elizabeth Vance. John & Elizabeth had three children
1) Lilian Cannon, married to Saville Bowden
2) Ronald William Cannon, married to Joyce Betty Scott, Gisela Hack & Daisy Foo. Ron was my Dad.
3) Benedicta Cannon, a nun in the Order of St Joseph of the Apparition.
All John's children are deceased. But I have regular contact with my cousins - the son & daughter of Lilian Bowden.
I would love to make contact with you and fill in a few gaps. Records are hard to access from more recent times & I had come to a bit of a standstill. I have also researched earlier family, which you might find interesting & have some old photos.
All the Best, Kim
