Can anyone help? Is anyone researching Cannell? My grtgrt grandfather James Cannell was born in Douglas in 1850/1851 although the family came from the North. His parents were James Cannell and Susan Barns. He married Catherine Moore and they had 10 Children. I have a lot of birth, marraige and death dates for many members of this family but have now become completely stuck. James and Susan are both buried at Peel Cemetary and his age on the gravestone is given as 78. The date of his death is given as 30 November 1899. I have spent hours trying to find him on the 1881 Census but he just seems to have disappeared. I am guessing that his parents are John Cannell and Elizabeth Creer but have no proof as yet. Does any of this ring any bells with anyone?
Thanks
Caroline
