I have 2 Cairns llinks and one I think came from Fermanagh
My great grandfather John Cairns son of William Cairns and Mary Winters Cairns stated on
his immigration papers when he landed in Nelson New Zealand in Feb 1878 that he came from
Fermanagh,
His parents have been located on the 1881 census as residing in Glasgow Scotland. John
Cairns was married in Glasgow in Dec 1875 to Annie Lynch.
On the other side of my family I have a great grandfather Robert Cairns whose parents were
William Cairns and Jane Lithgow. Robert was supposedly born in Antrim but cannot find
proof.
Robert married Mary Lamont in Feb 1875 and came to live in Oamaru New Zealand in 1878.
