    William Cann c1802 was my gggrandfather married to Ann Parminter. I too am looking into the family history, my ggrandfather was one of their sons Arscott b.1843 who married Mary Rodd in Bideford. Any information about the Cann/Parminter/Rodd families would be welcome.

    I notice that this thread is quite old now but, just in case anyone is still actively looking for Cann family in the Bideford area of Devon ...

    I believe that I am descended from Susannah Cann (3ggm), born 1774 in Abbotsham near Bideford. Her parents were Francis Cann born 1739 Abbotsham, and Sussanah Floyde, born 1743 Abbotsham.

    At the moment I am trying to prove descent from Sussanah Cann via DNA matches. I have a few matches to Cann family descendants but, up to now, am struggling to match them up with people in my tree.

    If you are a Cann descendant have you had your DNA tested? If so, would you be willing to work with me on trying to find out if/where we are related?

    My family tree was created in Ancestry but I have uploaded it to several other sites - MyHeritage, GEDmatch and others. Please let me know if you would like a link to see what I've got so far.

    I am also in the Devon Genealogy group on Facebook

    Cheers, Marilyn

    I don't think the family I have been researching would be connected BUT one of the people in the tree was called William Arscott Skinner (born in Wales, died in Wolverhampton). Been trying to find where the name Arscott came from
