Son John D. Cairney, age 5 months, born c1901, Arbroath

Brother Hugh M. Cairney, age 13, born c1888 Stirling, Flax Mill Worker

No sign of Helen who would be about 16.

Boarding at Mitchell Land, Leslie, Fife (with an Elizabeth Muckersie)

No sign of Michael who would be about 20.

Just had another look at the 1901 Census .....

There is a Margaret and a Dorothy Cairnie at Spittal Street Girls Industrial School.

Could just be co-incidence but is they turn out to be Effie's wee sisters, the other details are:

Margaret, age 9, born c1892, Stirling
Dorothy, age 7, born 1894 at Stirling.

There is a 'matching' Dorothy Cairney sailing to/from Canada aboard the S.S. 'Montrose' in March/April 1923, but I'm not too sure how to read these things. It appears that's she's been back and forard to Canada (in 1914 then in 1922).

It says on this particular document that she's joining her brother Mr. Hugh Cairney, 68 Risemere(?) Avenue, Ottowa

I found 3 different documents, 2 of which 'cross-reference' but as I said, I'm dubious about posting the details in case I'm reading them wrongly.

Sorry about posting in 'dribs and drabs' - I keep running out of space (and nothing on the discussions on this problem seems to work for me).

Anyway ......

Hugh Cairney also went to Canada - 3 lots of documentation for him but again, once I get your e-mail address, I'll forward the images and you can sort out what's what!

What marvelous stuff folks.
I never thought I'd get so much information, both here and by PM, by posting just one question. .. It's great.

Euphemia's brother Hugh and sister Dorothy settled in Canada.

Another brother, John, (must be the one living in Arbroath in 1901) emegrated to New Zealand. Don't know where or when but I do know that some of his family are living there.

The Canadian family ar going to be extremely pleased with all this information. As am I.

Cheers

Hi guys, I'm a newbie to this so be gentle.
I googled Daniel Cairney Stirling as he is my great grandad (90% certain). Your forum chat was the first entry on search results.
My interest was in William Burns Cairney who was the third son of Daniel and Mary (Moir), he was my mum's dad. There were six in the family John, Michael, William, Helen, Hugh and Euphemia. As has been said, Daniel and Mary married in Edinburgh and obviously settled in Stirling. Daniel died in Stirling aged 82, Mary was deceased prior to 1903. William got married in Methil in 1903 to Janet Henderson and they had a son, Daniel, in 1905. Sadly, my great-uncle Daniel only survived 15 hours. My mum, Janet, came along in October 1911 but ended up being brought up by her uncle, John Henderson. William's wife died aged 35 and he re-married an Annie Murphy or Walker.
Hope this helps out, if anyone has details of where Daniel Cairney (senior) was born I'd be most grateful. I believe he came from Ireland and may have altered his name from Kearney or O'Kearney.
I've just started out on the geneology trail, so maybe I have taken the wrong route, feel free to correct me.

Hello alsuttie and welcome to RootsChat

Very interested in your posting. Your being the grandchild of William Cairney makes you my wife's second cousin. My wife is the grand daughter of Michael Cairney.
I began researching the Cairney tree some years ago but gave up to concentrate on my own family tree.

William is one of the brothers that I know nothing about so I hope you will provide lots of info on him and his family. I will be only too pleased to swap info with you. I have quite a few old Cairney photos and hopefully you will have some too.


The above phots were lifted from my old Cairney files and the info with them needs to be updated.
ie Mary Moir didn't die in Stirling, she died in Arbroath.

Cheers.

Good morning Fergie, thanks for your reply.
Brilliant to see the photos, at the moment I don't have anything like that at all. I will post a bit more tonight as I'm at work just now.
Once again, many thanks.
