Hi Donna

James Cain died 1901-1909 - don't know where but there doesn't seem to be any candidates on BL's burials.

Elizabeth Shimmin daughter of John Shimmin & Ann Quirk is another possibility but she is not mentioned in her father John Shimmin's will in 1836

SHIMMIN, John 1836 Ger A 26 0106248

German A26 film RB646
John Shimmin of Ballacross German
son & heir John Shimmin
dau Catherine wife of Thomas Corkan
son Thomas blacksmith
dau Ann Callister widow

nor is she mentioned in her mother's will in 1827

SHIMMIN, Ann 1827 Ger A 17 0106245

As you can probably tell we have spent many hours researching likely candidates!

By a process of elimination Isabel Shimmin c 18/5/1794 daughter of Charles Shimmin & Isabella Mylchreest is the least unlikely candidate!

Moving on to Charles & Isabella.
Isabella (as a widow) is with her son Charles in 1851 & is buried in German 18/8/1851 but we cannot find either Charles or Isabella on 1841.
There is a burial for Charles Shimmin-
SHIMMIN, Charles 85 German 11 Nov 1843
If that is this Charles then he could well be the son of John Shimmin & Margaret Mylchreest of Eary moare German c 21/3/1759

Any help greatly appreciated
