CANES OF LONDON
Trying to trace any info on William Cane born c1833-34either St Pancras London or possibly Brighton. William maried Jane anne Haines also from London. William was listed on his sons birth cert in 1861 as aAdvertising agent and by the 1881 census was listed as a compositer working in Fleet Street. William and Jane had eight children that i know of Ann Selby Cane b1860, Charles William Selby Cane b 4 Aug 1861(my gg grandfather)m Elizabeth Martha Smith, Maude Francis Selby Cane b1864, Louisa Elizabeth Selby cane b1867, Benjamin John Selby Cane b 1869 m Elizabeth Caroline M Gifford, Richard James Selby Cane b 23 apr 1871, Emily Mary Selby b 1873 and John Selby Cane b 1876.They were all born in London and most are buried at Abney Cemetery in London. I am also hoping someone can shed some light on why all of William Caneschildren and decendants suddenly carry the name Selby. I have found no connection to the Selby line as yet. Any help would be very much appreciated.
