Hello.
I have been researching my grandmothers maiden name which was Cairns. I have managed to
get back to my ggg grandfather but the trail runs cold for me when i reach Scotland.
I would be greatful if anyone could help me with this or link me with your own Cairns.
I'll give you what i know of the Scottish connection, which is very little i'm
afraid.
John Cairns. Born abt 1830 in Dumfries, Dumfriesshire, Scotland.
John Married Mary .?. born abt 1828 in Boyds Croft, Cumberland, England.
Children:
1. Jane Cairns Born: abt 1853 Northumberland.
2. Matthew Cairns Born: abt 1854 Scotland
3. William Cairns Born: abt1857 Bournmoor, Durham,
England
4. Thomas Cairns Born: abt 1863 Bournmoor, Durham
5. Dorothy and John Cairns Born: 1865 Bournmoor, Durham
I hope this helps, its my only confirmed link into Scotland.
I do have more info on what i suspect as being a link to my Cairns and that is of the
Cairns of Canonbie, Dumfries. This is only a hunch based on the fact that they both come
from the same county at least.
There details are:
William Cairns. Born: abt 1793, Canonbie, Dumfries, Scotland.
Married: Jane Thomson. Born: abt 1793 Canonbie, Dumfries.
Children:
1. Margaret Cairns. Born: 5 Dec 1819, Canonbie.
2. James Cairns. Born: 2 Aug 1822, Canonbie.
3. Thomas Cairns. Born: 20 Apr 1825, Canonbie.
4. Mary Cairns. Born: 17 Apr 1827, Canonbie.
5. John Cairns. Born: 7 Oct 1829, Canonbie.
6. Adam Cairns. Born: 24 Jan 1833, Canonbie.
I hope this info helps and that you can help me further expand my links into Scotland.
Many thanks,
Graham.
