Okay, I found some info for you.
I found William J., Eliza Ann, Charles A., and Emmett C. Cairnes (note the -es at the end
of the name) in the 1880 census.
William J Cairnes was listed as a 45 year old Clerk.
Eliza Ann was a 22 year old seamstress.
Charles A was 5 years old.
Emmett C was 2.
Here's a bonus for you...2 other people were living with them.
Eliza Talbot, a 72 year old seamstress was listed as a Grandmother (based on the name, I
would assume that it is HER grandmother).
Also,Fanny Manning, a 46 year old seamstress was listed as Mother in Law.
Both of William's Parents are listed as having been born in VA.
Eliza's Father was born in England. Her mother, Maternal Grandparents and Maternal
Great Grandparents were all born in VA.
