Cumberland / McCann/Gilmar in Whitehaven
« on: Sunday 21 May 17 12:45 BST (UK) »
Henry McCann, born around 1770) and Isabella Gilmar had several children born on the Isle of Man, then moved to Whitehaven, Cumberland between 1803 and 1808. Others have researched Thomas (1808), James (1810), Daniel (1814) and Isabella (1816) being born in Whitehaven, and the family then moving to Bolton, Lancashire. I have a John McCann (1817) from the Bolton area who on the 1881 census states he was born in Windemere, Cumberland.
John married Ellen Fishwick in Bury, Lancashire, and I have most of the history below this. There were no parents mentioned in the marriage registry (witnessed by John Forshaw and Esther Entwistle), and I only have found one on-line email that links John to Henry/Isabella.
I'm looking for any information that might help establish that this is a valid or invlid link between my John McCann and Henry/Isabella
Thanks in advance
