My grandad John Cannon

Posted by Jade cannon on January 31, 2019, 22:38:09

Hi I’ve just been reading this and my Late grandad was mentioned John Cannon. Myself & my family love reading this stuff to see if any mention of relatives is made. Someone remembered my grandad and that’s amazing. We would love to know if anyone else remembers John & Bessie Cannon. Bessie just died suddenly on the 23/01/2019. All we have now is memories xx

Hi Jade,

I'm the person who created this forum and although it is not generally used anymore, I do still get notifications if there are any new posts added to it.

Firstly, I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother passing. I am not sure if I met her on Stonecutters Island during my time there.

However I do remember your Grandfather who was RSM (I think) at the Military Prison. I was at the Royal Navy Wireless Station at the opposite end of the island so did not see him very often. I am not sure if there would be some pictures of him in my old image archives, but I will have to look through them.

Send me an email address to mike.mcnamara@stonecuttersisland.com and if I do come across any pictures that are in the archive I will send them to you.

Kind regards

Mike

We lived next door to John and Bessie. My mum kept in touch for years Margaret Gillies. Anne and Fiona used to babysit for me and my two sisters. Karen Tracey and Shelley Gillies
