Sometime ago - I asked for some information concerning a Susan Cairns - alas to no avail.
This time I am asking as to whether anyone has any information concerning a David Cairns
who may have been born around 1830 - 1845. I understand that he married a Margaret McEvoy.
I am also led to believe that David Cairns lived to the ripe old age of 104 and lived in -
or around Belfast - or maybe County Antrim. As a result Susan Cairns - born in 1868 could
well have been born in Antrim, I know she arrived in Adelaide in 1925 and died in Adelaide
- South Australia in 1948. Susan Cairns/McTier had a brother by the name of Robert (Bob)
Cairns and in turn he had a daughter Barbara - who later married a Doctor by the name of
(Jim?) McCauley. The two of them travelled to Australia (Maryborough - Victoria) around
1980 and then left and made their way to Canada. I understand that they have two children.
I am interested in any information that may be 'out there' .
John Cairns McTier - Adelaide, South Australia.
