Edward Cairns

[Angechica]

Hello Nooshie W
Sorry I know this thread was a couple of years ago now.
I was wondering if you or your friend had any further success with this family history research?
I have recently started researching Cairns family tree.
-the elder Miles Cairns was my GG Grandfather
He raised my grandmother, and they lived at the Cemetery Keeper's lodge in East Gateshead Cemetery.
-the younger Miles Cairns who was your friend's father, was a cousin of my Grandmother.
I have sent off to Scotland's People for a marriage cert for Edward Cairns / Honora Gilhooly (Ann/ie Cairns) but if researching the Irish roots of these people is fruitless then I may not be able to pursue it.
Many thanks for any help!

Thanks, that explains the names, both boys very similar though 'Joannis' and 'Joannes'.

I'm a bit late to the party, but Joannes is the nominative case of the Latin version of John, and Joannis is the genitive, which means of John or John's . You also see Joannem which is the accusative case of the Latin. So it's all the same name and almost certainly the same person.
