Hi Viv
Out of curiosity I had a look at the 1871 and the son is John Thos but the father is just John Cain in the census - not sure if that helps in your thinking or not.
I do find the 1871 interesting in that the family has a visitor William Kelly born Marown same as Margaret, lending perhaps a bit of evidence that Margaret Cain is Margaret Kelly.
