I am trying to find information on my G Grandmother Edna Cann 1876. She was apparently born in Darlington. I have her marriage certificate to my G Grandad George Frost Price in 1898( Hull). Through that I found the name of her father and got his Death certificate.I cannot find her birth, death or census prior to 1901( I HAVE 1901). I have thought that Edna may be her middle name, but it is the only name on the marriage certificate.Can anyone give me advice on how I can find more information on her? |

I have searched all the census including 1881. Her father was john Cann born 1854. the witnesses were George's brother Thomas Benjamin Price and M. E. Kelsey. |

She does seem to be elusive. |

It says born Darlington on her marriage certificate. her Dad was born in Devon but lived in Darlington. I have found someone linked to his family, but they don't know Edna or what happened to her. |

If you haven't found Edna with her father on any census, I'm not sure how you know you have the correct death cert for him...............do you have other docs to back up the info? |

The marriage certificate says he was a Groom. I searched on Darlington council online site and found him and that connected him with another GR tree. He died in 1887 and his father William was present at the death and it gave the address |
