Hello Sue,

Yes, I think sending for Bernard Cain Birth Cert. is the best idea, to make sure his father is, Michael Cain and to get his mother's maiden name,

if Liz has found the marriage of Margaret Cain to John? O'Day in 1867 children born after this marriage date would be of surname, O'Day

or do you think the Bernard Cain 1895

has been born c1864 in America and then Registered at a later date when the family returned to England ?

did they do that, if a baby was born of British nationality in a foreign land ?
