Many thanks for this. This is the my ancestor & I have a copy of this document, however, I have been struggling to find a record of his birth in the area - or the John Canning (s) I have found in Gloucestershire/Warkwickshire/Forest of Dean have not been specific enough to make a conclusive connection.I think the person who contacted me in the summer was to inform me about some Canning(s) being employed on an estate somewhere - although it may have been in C19th rather than C18th. I have worked out the descendants of John and Nancy (also known as Ann) who lived in Frampton on Severn after their marriage, but at brick wall going further back. Anyone aware of any records relating to Yeoman that might provide leads please? I know John Canning and Ann Hewlett's son John was a cooper in Newent in 1799 and later moved to Bristol. Also have some good leads on Ann Hewlett's ancestors (Verney/Longney etc), but still struggling to confirm father of John Canning born in 1750s.
