A tree on Ancestry has a photo of a gravestone, which mentions:

Arthur James Cain, 1914-2005
Winifred Cain, 1913-1922
Arthur Frank Cain, 1879-1960
Minnie Cain, 1879-1971


Is this the same chap?


No ;D This one born in Bedfordshire! ::)


Alfred's mother was probably a widow when she married Mr Cain?
So the marriage will be under her married name?

The best solution is to buy Alfres's birth certificate, which will mention both mother's and father's names.

There's a marriage between Charles CAIN and Mary Ann HORNETT ???
on A*try. 24 Nov 1895 St Andrew, Haverstock Hill.
She's a 21 yr old widow-father is Charles BASS.
They do seem to be in St Pancras in a later census.

There's a marriage in March quarter 1913 between Alfred Cain and a Maud M BEAL in St Pancras

But also a birth 1929 of an Alfred J CAIN mothers maiden name BEAL just to confuse things.

The surname i am looking for is definitely Bass. I also doubt they would name 2 of their children Alfred J when the first Alfred survived?...

Frances M Cain b. 1915 d. abt 2012 Devon
Albert A Cain b. 1920

Just wondering about your info for Frances. Did she not marry?

Devon seems such a long way from home for the Pancras crowd. :)
