Annie Richards married Richard Cannicott 11 February 1886,The cerificate is on Familysearch.
Annie's father is labourer but what is Richard's father? The first word looks like soldier but I can't make out the 2nd word.
The first letter looks to be H and the last S

I think that she is My relative although they haven't put her middle name of Mary.
She is the right age and the father on the certifiate is correct and William is a witness, Annie May had a brother named William.
I look online and someone has an Annie J Richards marrying Richard Cannicott with a daughter that died in Ontario, Lilian J Cannicot married Alfred Ernest Rapson.
Now I don't know if I have the right marriage.
 
There was a Richard Cannicott born c1841 who served in the Royal Marines Light Infantry. He married Hannah Trigger in 1863, giving his occupation as 'Marine in Her Majesty's Service'.

In 1861 he is onboard the ship Donegal moored at Hamoaze, but must have been serving (abroad?) in 1871 as Hannah an her children, including Richard born c1866, are at Battery Street, East Stonehouse, Devon.

In 1881 Richard Sr is in the Hospital Barracks at Walmer/Eastry, Kent & is a Lance Corporal RMLI. His wife is now Kate (Taylor), although the Banns in 1880 show him as a bachelor.

Hannah was very much alive, however, and in 1881 is in the Union Workhouse, Chard, along with Edith b1874 & Elizabeth c1877, but I'm not yet sure what happened to her after that.

The other children from 1871 are Emily (c1867) and George Edwin (1870), and in 1881 George is in the Budock Union Workhouse, Falmouth, along with another sibling, William, born 1873. Emily is an apprentice in Illminster, Chard, and Richard Jr is a Farm Servant in Falmouth.
 
It looks like Hannah must have been a regular at the workhouse, as the West Briton and Cornwall Advertiser 20 Nov 1873 says she was the wife of a marine on HMS Ganges and a pauper inmate of the Falmouth workhouse for some months. She was brought up before Captain Norway RN for refusing to bathe :eek: and as she still refused was sentenced to 14 days hard labour
 
The Richard that married Annie in 11 February 1886 was full age and Annie was 19. Richard's father was Richard. The marriage certificate is on familysearch. Manaccan, page 61.
1911 Ann has had 12 children and they are all alive. Must have been lucky in those days to have all of your children still alive.

1989 has the death of a Cannicott and he was next to the youngest of a family of 12. He lived in the Manaccan area. Has to be the same family that I am looking into.

His name is among the many.
I say that I think that I have the right Annie Richards but as I said in message 2 somebody has Lilian J with a mother named Annie J and father Richard Connicott that died in Onario online but I can't find the information now.:rolleyes:
 
There is a William Howard Rapson registered in Toronto to Alfred Ernest Rapson, bookkeeper and mother Lillian Jane Cannicott 15/12/1912
 
New York arrivals has a William (19) and Lillian (17) birth place Helston arriving Aug. 19, 1908. Nearest relative...Richard Cannicott, father, Helymd (?) , Cornwall...
 
Alfred Ernest Rapson arrived on the Philadelphia on 31 March 1906 destination Toronto. He was also from Helston.
William and Lillian Cannicott destination was Illinois. Maybe William was escorting his young sister to meet up with Alfred. Sounds rather romantic. She was so young. :)
 
William Charles Cannicott, 1918/19 USA draft card WW1 residence Cook, Illinois 28 years of age, a clerk, married one child under 12. Born Helston.
 
(William) Howard Rapson Chemical Engineering
Global authority on pulp and paper chemistry


The Story
Rapson was educated at the University of Toronto (BASc, 1934; MASc, 1935; PhD, 1941). He became an expert in pulp and paper chemistry which involves the manufacture and purification of wood pulp and cellulose for making paper. His particular specialty was in the use of chlorite ion (ClO2- ) pulping and bleaching which he developed during World War II when the usual pulping agent, sulfuric acid, was in short supply. He holds 33 patents in 45 countries and has received numerous awards.
