This is my first posting to the list. My Fife CAIRNS line is as follows:
Andrew Cairns (possible parents - Andrew Cairns and Helen Scobie) married
Christian Anderson on 11th March, 1815 in Dunfermline, and had the following
family.
Andrew, chr. July 1815 in Dunfermline
William, chr. Jan 1817 in Dunfermline
James, chr March 1819 in Dunfermline
Robert, chr. July 1821 in Carnock
Janet, chr. Dec 1823 in Carnock
Helen, chr. Feb 1826 in Carnock
Agnes, chr. Nov 1829 in Carnock
Thomas, chr. Jan 1833 in Carnock
Christian, chr. jan 1836 in Dunfermline
James Cairns, 1819, was my ancestor. He married Jean Stevenson on 8th
December 1839 in Kinross, Kinross, and had at least the following family:
Margaret, born about 1841 in Kinross
Andrew, born 7 Jan 1847 in Wester Balado, Kinross, Kinross
James, born 23 jan 1853 in Wester Balado, Kinross, Kinross
Andrew Cairns, 1847, was my ancestor, and married Catherine McNaughton on
10th June, 1870 in Kincardine, Perthshire. They had the following family:
Elizabeth Buchanan, born 1871 in Kincardine by Doune, Perthshire
Jane Stevenson, born 19 Oct 1873 in Kirklane, Kincardine, Perthshire
Jenny, born 12 May 1876 in Alloa, Clackmannanshire
James Andrew, born 1880 in Alloa, Clackmannanshire
Andrew Cairns, 1847, eventually settled in Doune, Perthshire. His son,
James Andrew (1880,) emigrated to Canada after 1913 with his wife Margaret
(Mailer?) and their three children, Andrew (1908?) Margaret (1910?) and
Kate, 1913. I have had no luck in tracking down any of their descendants in
the Toronto, Ontario area.
Hopefully some of these names and dates will sound familiar to someone out
there:)
