Charles dedicated five years at Clifton to specialising in mechanical and electrical engineering. After spending time at their family home in Oakbourne, he ventured into farming, acquiring a small sheep farm in Napier. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish Canning & Co on Station Street, Napier, in 1905.Meanwhile, Davis pursued his passion for cricket, becoming an accomplished player for the Hawkes Bay team for eleven years, beginning in 1893. His dedication to sports was matched by a commitment to service, as he later rose to the rank of Lieutenant and assumed command of the Waipukurau troops. Together, the Canning brothers exemplified a blend of innovation, athleticism, and leadership, contributing to their community and shaping the narrative of the Canning family in New Zealand.Wāhi | LocationOakbourne|Hawke's BayTohu Matawhenua | Geo Coordinates^[1]
