His occupation on his marriage certificate was Mariner, as was his fathe John cain's occupation

John James Caine was my husbands great great grandfather. He was a mariner, but in later life was crippled and became known as John the Matmaker. My grandmother-in-law told me that there was some kind of accident at sea and he ended up in the freezing water (possibly trying to save someone). The 1911 census gives his occupation as Mariner, but in 1921 he was Disabled Fisherman. Does anyone know how I can find out anything more about him. (His wife was Emma Amelia nee Gregor)
thanks. Janice Caine

I have a strong DNA match with c Danny Mackintosh, who was born in Burma c 1960's (now deceased); his nephew is communicating with me.  G. Mackintosh (Scottish)was working for a forest department or a mining company in Ranong Thailand which is near the border of Burma(Myanmar) and Thailand around 1910.
He married a Burmese lady, named (Daw In) she lived in Kanbauk village Dawei, Burma (Myanmar) and they had a child (Donald Mackintosh) was born in 1918 Ranong Thailand.

Kanbauk is a Tin mining village. Later Donald was working as a mining engineer and settled down with his wife and children including Nellie and Danny.

G. Mackintosh left his wife and his 5 year old son (Donald Mackintosh) and returned to Scotland in 1923. He gave information and documents for his wife & 5 year old son to keep in touch. However  those documents and information have been lost.

I presume my DNA match is through my mother, Born Jean Lawson Mackintosh, & her father William Urquhart Mackintosh, born Tradespark, Nairn in 1874. He had a brother George b 1867 who may be the one in question but not sure. Does anone have NY IDEAS

Hi Vicbain,
yes I'm still interested. I found the same spelling variations as you did. I'll look at your blog & get back to you. Amelia/Emily Bain was my great grandmother (married to John Urquhart) d, 1875. Notice her mother's maiden name was also Urquhart.
Thanks
