Hi Maggiemae,

Apart from the little bit mentioned above here's what the letter includes about Cairns

"Old Ralph Cairns and family have been in Denwick a long time, except the son Ralph, who is living in Newcastle-on-Tyne, where he has a very good business, I believe. He deals greatly in foreign hay and straw. he is also married. The rest of them are single. "

Hope this is useful.

Christine

If you are in Alnmouth you should pop into the Red Lion and say hello toMac & Jame McHugh. Very good friends of mine from my military and a cracking pint and food to boot

Hello Christine

I have ancestors from the Gibb's (master mariners) from Alnmouth and would be interested to know content of your letter.

Sincerely.

Kev.

Hi Kev and welcome to rootschat.

All I have on Gibb is mentioned in reply number 17 - "Henry Gibb is a ship captain and lives in Newcastle"
