Hi Georgina, I have had a few Kiwi Cain/Cane, etc correspondents contact me over the years
that I have been honorary admin at the Cain DNA project. In the case of your ancestor from
Shoreditch, a place full of immigrants, one action would be to check that his family
didn't migrate there from somewhere else. My family in Aus claimed to be Londoners but
clearly they migrated twice as their DNA places them in the west of Ireland.
There were Cane/Cain folks in some counties near to London. Without a documented paper
trail the only other way is a DNA test like the bargain basement Y12 that Family Tree DNA
offer. Plus a Cane (etc) database with which to compare your dad'd results. I thin the
Cain DNA project at
www.familytreedna.com/public/Cain-Caine is the biggest Cane (etc) DNA
database.
