I am still struggling with parents for John Canning who married Nancy (Ann) Hewlett, however, just came across this reference to Newent (where coincidentally their son James Canning (b. 1784) served as an apprentice cooper.We know that a yeoman by the name of Taylor is associated with the marriage bond for John & Nancy - so is this a coincidence, or does anyone no more about the history/families in Newent in 1700s please ?

Newent – 1776 – Sale by Thomas Brown(e) of Gloucester & Elizabeth his wife – one of the children of Ellis & Alice Taylor (both deceased) of an interest in an estate in Newent, to Ellis Taylor (Gloucester). Names a messuage, 12 closes, orchards / fields & names last 3 tenants – Wm Canning, J Amphlett, & Wm Baylis. Ellis Taylor (senr) held half share of the property, acquired in 1731 from Henry & Sarah Haynes. Large sheet parchment signed / sealed by Thomas & Eliz Brown, witnessed by Jno Skinner Stocks & Wm Pitt.
