The LDS has Richard's wife's name as Elizabeth. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marriages Dec 1876 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cantan Robert Maidstone 2a 1041 COOPER William Carpenter Maidstone 2a 1041 Jarrett Alice Florence Maidstone 2a 1041 Saunders Elizabeth Clara A B Maidstone 2a 1041 I can not locate any Richard Cantan and/or Lillian Annie Cantan on any of the census records under Cantan and/or Soundex.
