Hi Cathy. I wish I could say that I may be of the same family, but according to my
records back to 1851 in Scotland my family name is recorded as CAINS. It is pre that
period of time that I am researching as my great grandfather was born at sea , his father
was a soldier in the 12th foot army his father had the same name John CAINS and the mother
was Ann McNab. If anyone could help me with this I would be grateful, my great grandfather
John was born around 1828, on one of the census forms beside Born at Sea ,British Subject
it could possibly say Gibraltar although I am not sure. Thank you Cathy for the E- MAIL
