Find Ancestors

Could I please ask if anyone who has the availability to look up Scotish records to take a quick look for my Gt Grandfather Owen Cain.

The 1911 Census records his place of birth as "Forfar Dundee Resident " he was born about 1877, but I still don't know if he was born there or just lived there.

I would really like to confirm his place of birth and find out who his parents were and from whence they came.

Thanks in advance

Keven

Thanks Frank...... Looks like I will have to buy some credits and take a look

Thanks Astra..... I have seen that record before..... It could well be him, not that far from forfar, but need to do a bit more research first to make sure.

Thanks Ailenn, can I ask what type of record that was.... was it a birth record?

I think you need to order that marriage cert and see who is listed as his father.

Thank you so much everyone..... I really feel that I am getting closer....

This has been an unanswered question for so long now, my first post about Owen Cain was 10 years ago (on another site). I know that this is not the end, but at least it's a strong begining with something to work on!

Thanks again

Keven

Hi Keven

the record I looked up was the birth record mention by Frank 06 from Scotland'sPeople.

So are you going to order the marriage cert and see if his father is Robert?

Rose

Hi Rose,

Yes I will be doing that later in the week....... I am still trying to get my head round what you can find out with these 'puter thingies. You have started me off on another side of the family now.... I have just found another few relatives lol

Oh whilst on the subject.... what do you know about Welsh Records census Returns etc?

Thanks Again
Keven

One census says Robert was born Wales, the other says England.

Census records for England and Wales are available on Ancestry or Findmypast.

You should be able to find his marriage on Scotslandpeople to get his parents.

Too many Robert Keane/Keene/Caine/Caine/Kanes to know which one is yours.
