Message Board Post:
I am trying to research my mother in laws rather vague family history on her behalf.
She knows her mother (Dorothy May Wilkins - maiden name) was previously married to a man
named Cairns (first name unknown), possibly in the late 20's. They had two children, a
boy and girl (again names unknown as are DOB's). She thinks they may have lived on the
Isle of Man at some point. She thinks he may have been involved in shipping.
For reasons she kept to herself, she left the children with their father and later married
my mother in laws father.
My mother in law is now in her 70's and has always wondered what became of her half
brother and sister.
If you've heard stories from your grandparent ?Cairns or ?nee Cairns about a mother
that left and never returned, please get in touch.
