Cant, Morayshire

Any information at all please about the Cant family from Chapelton Moss. Near Forres.I believe my gt grandmother Margaret Cant left behind a daughter Mary when she came to England. Mary went on to have 3 daughters in the Moray union Workhouse. Jessie Cant 1910- Jeannie 1912 and Alice 1914. Did Mary or any of her girls marry? does anyone know what became of them?  Margarets aunt Mary Cant also had several illegitimate children. One, Charles Cant became Charles Kerr he was born 1869 and Kerr was his fathers name. He was living in Dyke . Marys other children were Alexander Gorden Cant b 1860.George McGillivary Cant b 1863, Mary Ann Newlands Cant b 1874 and James Cant b1879. She also had a daughter Jessie Ann Cant b 1875 and she married James McKenzie. Any help at all please with any of the Cants.

Alexander Cant, son of William Cant and Elizabeth Gordon Fraser, was born at Chapelton Moss on 4 November 1878. He married a distant relative of mine, Jane Sim, on 7 November 1917 in Elgin, and had a daughter and a son. I have more details on this family - if you can import a GEDCOM send me a PM with your real e-mail address and I'll send you what I have.

Hi ,I have a very good Cant family tree including the Family of Alexander. I have his mother as Elizabeth Garden Fraser though b 10 Jan 1839.Williams grandfather was John Cant b 28 Dec 1805 and he was brother to my gt gt grandfather Alexander Cant b 1808.It was all the illegitimate children of this Alexanders daughters I was interested in and what happened to them. My great grandmother Margaret Cant seems to have left behind a daughter Mary when she came to England and married in 1892. It is a very confusing family...as I suppose are all families!
