Eunice we have written before I think
I have everal William Cairns in my treet.
1. William Cairns married Jane Lithgow(in Antrim Ireland) and their son
Robert born about 1853 married Mary Lamont and Robert and Mary came to
Oamaru in 1878ish. Their eldest son was William born in 1877 in Glasgow. So
there is two.
2. I then have a William Cairns born in Fermanagh in 1810 and his son John
born about 1847 married Annie Lynch and they too came to NZ via Nelson in
1878. We were trying to establish
whether Annie Lynch Cairns had remarried after the death(or otherwise! of
John Cairns) and so I sent away for two Annie Cairns marriage certs.
Eureka One was the one I was looking for but the other one says Annie Cairns
aged 22 in 1897 daughter of William Cairns and Maggie Alexander. Annie was
born in Rangiora I think.
I have this lovely cert which I want to send to its rightful home. If I
found that in fact William Cairns who would have been born probably about
1850 was one of mine I would be over the moon.

Which Cairns are you descended from?
Also interested in Sutton in a vague sort of way.

Greetings
Just wondered if you know where your William Cairns came from before
settling in NZ.
