Hello Liz, I have Cain ancestry in Donegal, Ireland, too. An Edward Cain from Donegal
born c1795, married a Margaret from Down, born about the same year, and they showed up in
County Cumberland, England by 1820. They were in County Durham, England, by the 1841
census. They had several children and worked mostly as coal miners. I found a 1796
Spinning Wheel entitilement list, for Ireland, and have all the Cain and Kane folks on it.
Will send it to you if you wish. It might help to see which cities the Cains were in in
1796. My Cains were protestant as far as I know. They had marriages and christenings in
the Church of England, once they got there from Ireland.
Janet
