Thanks for the info Nigel.

The Cannon/Creetch connection is interesting. As for the FHS, it probably is about time I rejoin. Now the kids are a bit older I'm getting a bit more time to spend on research. Hopefully I will be able to access the tree you mention somehow.

You may have also noticed my post about Cannells of Ballawillan, and this document also features them. Do you know anything more about the purchase in 24th March 1761?

Thanks
Lisa
