All is suddenly becoming clearer, it appears there was a Francis Kane and a Francis O"Kane both natives of Millisle. the former is the one of my interest and it appears he had at least 3 children, one in Londonderry, one in Scotland and a don't know where ! This Francis (died 1909) and his wife Jane nee Cree and two of his children , one a centenarian are buried in the Kane plot in the Millisle Presbyterian grave yard, I was told by a person who knew the centenarian that he was a ships captain hence the birth places of the children.
Now it could be the Francis O'Kane was the ships captain, a big coincidence to have two in one village? this Francis is also buried in the same graveyard and I believe it is his tombstone referred to by kingskerswell, the grave area appears to be pretty crowded as it contains Francis O'Kane 1904 Isabella 1901, dau Mabel , dau Emma, dau Majorie, dau Lily, dau Elsie and her husband and one of their children.
I guess what I shall have to do is obtain a copy of Georgina Kane's birth certificate she was born 14th May 1892 in Londonderry and that would sort out the ships captain business, I hope!
Thank you Dennis

I have a Robert Kane, farmer, of Ballylisbredan, Dundonald (1795-1866) in my tree who married Mary Cooper around 1820 and had the following children:- Sarah, Robert, William John, David and Elizabeth. I don't know anything about his father.
Francis appears in later generations as a family name and there is a tradition that earlier ancestors were seafarers, originating in the Bushmills area of Co Antrim. Francis is a family name in the Kane family of the Causeway Hotel near Bushmills. Does any of this ties in to the information you have?
