The info I have found on here are that the two brothers ran a hardware in Holmfield for
some time. Grandpa (Thomas) was born in 1877 & his brother Hugh was born in 1885.
Their parents were Robert & Elizabeth(Liddle)Cairns. The parents were married in
Fermanagh Cty & the boys were born in Timpany,Cloghen(or Claughin Cty)Co in Tyrone,
Northern Ireland. They had an uncle,Thomas Liddle,in Killarney. Cairns is a Scottish name
& I think they were descended from the northern Scots who emigrated to Ireland for the
Brits so they could keep in power.I wrote a bunch of stuff down one day, but not sure
exact;y where I've got it all stashed. :-)
