Administrative/Biographical history: Joseph Herbert Canning (d.1940)
was an engineer and manager of Newport Gas Company. As a Catholic, he
became chairman of the Board of Managers of Catholic Non-Provided
Schools in Newport, and he served as a member of Lord Moulton's
Committee of Gas Engineers in the Ministry of Munitions during World

the Papal honour of the Knight of St. Gregory. He undertook extensive
research into the history of Catholicism in Monmouthshire, publishing
articles on John Kemble and David Lewis. He also edited The Catholic
