Hello Eileen
My William dies in Woolwich, London in 1867 and without a trace of his
parents, I have no idea of his background. As I said I have all of his
Military Career from when he joined in 1826 up until his death, BUT, have
no idea if he came from Aberdeen (as shown on all his records) or if he
came from elsewhere in Scotland.
Until I can find his parents, I don't know if your William is connected to
mine, but thank you for your response to my query.
Good luck with your research
Maureen

Hello Maureen,
Sorry to say I don't any information about your William Cairns. My Cairns
family lived in Northumberland, near the Scottish border, but I have not
been able to find any connections on the Scottish side. Also, no Williams
on my family tree. It seems to me we must have Cairns in Scotland, but I
have not found them.
Sorry I can't help. Good luck in your continued search.
Enid (Cairns) Dorward

Subject: [CAIRNS] William Cairns
I am looking for parents information regarding the above William Cairns.
He was born (he says in all documentation that I have) in Aberdeen,
Scotland.
I have nearly all of his Military Career, his Marriage, Death and all of
his children
What I don't have is any information about who his parents were. William is
said to have been born on 15 Dec 1811 in Aberdeen
(Found yesterday on Military record on Find my Past).
Without a Birth Registration, I have no idea how to take this line back any
further.
All/Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Kind regards
Maureen
