Can anyone give me any information on WILLIAM CRANN, born 13 August 1879, Hay Cove, Placentia Bay; parents SAMUEL CRANN (b. Nov 4, 1837 Flat Islands, Placentia Bay; d. 5 October 1920 in North Harbour, Placentia Bay) and BRIDGET MORTIMER (b. August 1847 in Woody Island).
In particular, I am attempting to establish if he is the same William Crann who married Ameta (Meta) Winnifred Kirby Inkpen and had sons JOSEPH MORLEY CRANN (~ 1916 - 2011) and FINLEY CRANN (~1919-1944). Ameta had previously been married to John Robert Inkpen; together they had children Sylvia May Inkpen, Verlie Edna Inkpen, Bella Winnifred Inkpen,James Inkpen, and John Robert Inkpen. William, Ameta and the children left Newfoundland approximately 1916 to settle in North Syndey where he died in 1952.
I have been unable to establish any information on the forefathers of the William Crann (who married Ameta Kirby). Thank you!
