I have been trying to identify the parents of Cath Cain b. abt 1768 ? Patrick, she died and was buried in Dec in 1809 in Patrick-per Brian Lawson's site re burials and wills.
She married William Kewley in 1786 in Patrick.
I am also interested in knowing if she had any connection to Hall Caine, as in March 1873 Catherine's grandson (Thomas Cubbon of Arbory) and g grandson (Robert Cubbon) were lost at sea and my father said Hall Caine, "dedicated some lines to their memory". I have found this somewhat interesting and though I suspect he may have spent sometime on the island in the 1870's I don't know why he'd do such a thing, as being lost at sea was hardly uncommon and I'm not aware of any connections he may have had to Arbory.
I'm not trying to prove any link to Hall Caine just simply wanting to know whether to include this information for future generations.
Thank you,
