Any Census Help Pls - CANNON

[exessexgirl]

Any help with census for the following if possible: CANNON
Thomas b: 1781
William B: 1782
John b: 1788
Thomas b: 1794
Michael b: 1795 @ Charles b: 1799, all shown as born Benington. Parents Thomas Cannon and Elizabeth. There were 6 female siblings, 2 of whom I have the marriage details for, the others I would think would have married by the 1841 census. I have Michael Cannon on the 1881 census, still in Benington. Many thanks  Lyn

Hello isobel 
thank you so much for your help with the information you have given me. If you don't mind looking for any more later census info it would be very much appreciated. But if you're not able to, thank you for what you have helped with.  Lyn

Here we go with 1861

RG9 Piece 811 Folio 169 page 8
Wood End, Ardeley
John Cannon Head 73 Blacksmith   Bennington
Esther Cannon Wife 69                  Hertford

Mary Cannon Head W 54 Retired Blacksmit's W
Thomas "       Son        26 Bootmaker
William   "      Son        21      "

Elizabeth "    Daur       14
Charles    "     Son        13
Caleb      "      Son       11
All from Bennington

There's also, in Bennington, Henry, presumably Thomas and Mary's son also on Bennington Rd
RG9 Piece 822 Folio 26 page 12
Henry Cannon Head Mar 29 Blacksmith  Bennington
Ann Cannon    Wife         29                    Cambridgeshire, Wood Ditton
John Cannon   Son        6 mos                       "                        "

In 1871 Michael is listed. He's transcribed as 95, though I think that it certainly could be read as 75

Bennington Green
Michael Cannon Head Widr 75 Church clerk and blacksmith Bennington
+ George and Susan Spicer family listed as lodgers. Susan may well be Michael's daughter as I found a marriage  in Hertford in 1857 for Susan Cannon. A possible husband listed was George Spicer.

I couldn't find John in 1871.
Hope this all helps
