Re: John Cain - Malew
In Response To: Re: John Cain - Malew ()

Ok Donna here goes.
Elizabeth Caine married Richard Shimmin @ Malew on 1st July 1826. Their children were John b 25.05.1/1827, Thomas Robert b 26.07.1829, William Henry b 05.08.1832, Elinor Ennett b 18.05.1834 [died aged 14], James Edward b 29.03.1836, Eliza b 12.01.1840, Mary Ann b 28.08.1842, William Richard b 21.10.1847 and finally Robert born 12.12.1850 the day that Elizabeth died presumably in childbirth? Robert was my g grandfather. He married Frances Sarah Bell at Malew 02.03.1872 and their children were Stanley Bell Shimmin b 11.11.1871, Frrances Edith b 30.01.1873, Thomas Alfred b 27.03.1877, Margaret Jane b 27.07.1879, James Robert b 31.07.1881, and Lizzie Marjorie b 30.11.1883. Margaret Jane [my grandmother] married James Alfred Kewley .
Going back a bit now Robert Shimmin was son of Richard Shimmin b 15.08.1804 who was son of Richard Shimmin b 20.01.1782 who was son of William Shimmin.

I do have a query for you though - I wonder whether or not John Caine was son of Thomas Caine and Martha Taggart. They had children named in the Will as Eleanor, Ann, Elizabeth, Catherine, Jane, William and John and another son that I think may be Paul but haven't found a bapt for yet. The other children were all baptised at St Marks, Malew. One quarter of the farm was left to John in the Will but there is mention of where the farm was apart from the fact that the parish was Malew. I haven't any proof that they are 'my' John Caine's parents - so I need to investigate both sets.

Hope this helps
