George Canning born into an Anglo-Irish family on 11 April 1770, the first son and second and only surviving child of his father's three children. Canning was descended from a branch of the family which had settled in Ulster; James I granted the manor of Garvagh (Londonderry) in 1618. Canning's father was a barrister who wrote articles, pamphlets and poetry; briefly he set up as a wine merchant but the business failed. George Canning (senior) was disinherited so his son was born into poverty. more >>
