John Caird married Charlotte Averne in 1803 in the parish of Oncham. They would both have been in their early 20s. I know the parents of both of them.

I believe that Charlotte's mother may have had property on the Island. In 1821 John Caird was admitted to the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh. He was born in Wigtownshire and she was born, possibly, in London.

I am looking for anything about their time on the Island. There is the possibility that John may have sailed as a Surgeon in the Navy - before or after he married.

I hope this is not too wide a topic but any help would be appreciated.
