John Cairns
« on: Sunday 08 November 09 23:42 UTC (UK) » |

Looking for any info on John Cairns born 1890 Ayrshire he married Ellen Galloway Carson.
Ellen then married George Cuthbertson in 1916.
Family rumour says John was killed in action in ww1 but I am unable to find a war record for him.
I have found a medal cert for a John Cairns but am unable to prove he is mine as there is no family names on the cert.
Hoping someone can help me.
Brenda

Hi,
Hate to say this but if he was born in 1890 Ellen could not have married him and THEN gone on to marry someone else in 1916 John for instance would only have been 16 yrs old.
I think we have missed out a date somewhere along the line. Either his birth date was much, much earlier or she did not marry George until much later.
On Sp there were 22 choices to go from but unfortunately I ran out of credits when trying to open the record.

Hi Marcie
He married Ellen in 1910 when he was 20 and she was 19 she then went on to marry George in 1916.
On her marriage cert to George she is a widower.
