I don't know anything about Samuel, the brother of John Thomas Canning.My records show that he did go to Newfoundland, but that info was taken from a Canning website, and I have no way of knowing if it was accurate.
My older relative sent me the info that "my" Samuel, born 1828 in St.John's, was the son of John Thomas and Theodora Canning.Almost all of her records were obtained from hiring a genealogist in Newfoundland.
I also know that Samuel and his wife, Ann, had a son named John Thomas Canning in Witless Bay in 1867.I obtained this record from the PANL when I was in Newfoundland.I know that this does not prove that Samuel is the son of your John Thomas, but it helps to reinforce it.
I have not researched this line in many years and would have to go through my papers to try and find the actual recording of Samuel's birth.
