Merry Christmas to all,
This is a re-post, hope to reach a new lister.
I am searching for any descendants or any information about
Austin,possibly Auston, Cain, born 27 January 1895, Queensberry
Square, Sanquhar.
Father Edward Cain, coal miner, and mother Jessie Brown
married July 1888, Washington near Sunderland,. probably Durham
County, England. I have not been able to find this marriage record.
It is possible that Austin was my Uncle.
My father, William Markey, born around 1897, was orphaned at an early
age and raised in an Orphanage operated by Nuns. He always believed
that Austin was his brother since they were together in the Orphanage.
Of course it is possible that they were not related and Austin, being
older, just took care of William.
William was taken from the Orphanage by Kate and Frank Markey
when he was about 6 years old. My Dad never saw or heard of Austin
again. The Markey's came to the USA in 1910, and my father was never
told of his true heritage.
If anyone recognizes any of this information or would like for me to
expand on anything, please let me know.
Thanks,
Bill Markey,
Missouri, USA
