Re: Search for Richard Cain
In Response To: Search for Richard Cain ()

The IGI (member's entry) gives Richard Leopold's details as:
Richard Leopold Cain Birth: 1880 Douglas
Death: 19 DEC 1911
Parents:
Father: Robert Caine Mother: Jane Amelia BACKWELL

which may well be correct, because Maughold parish register marriages has the same father:

1 Oct 1908

Richard Leapold CAIN full age Widower Accountant Hildesley Rd, Douglas [father] Robert Cain, Tailor

Eliza COTTIER full age Spinster Waterloo Rd, Ramsey [father] James Cottier, Farmer

It is highly unlikely that there would be two Richard Leapold Cains, and with a second marriage in 1908 he must have been born before "the late 1890s"?

Isn't this the family in 1881?
