Research for James Cain & family for TameCindy
Below are the findings of my cyber journey in search of elusive Cains. Looks like maybe he was like his very distant ancestor Cain of biblical fame, took off for places unknown and came back when it suited him.
I have read in an earlier e-mail that George Ingham married an Elizabeth Cain.
This Elizabeth was born in Ireland? And her parents were James and Rebecca we are presently hunting.
Mike tried to find them and located a family going by children’s names in Liverpool.
A Rebecca Cain died in London that may fit.

I found a load of Cains on Roots Web messageboards Using search : James and Rebecca Cain.
When I time restricted it to 1800s the results were negative strangely.
One in particular stood out at the site,even with the anomalies. Alas, I have not been able to make contact, the mail is returned as undeliverable.
Searches using Seamus, the Irish alternative name for James were done and also substituted Jack for James for I had a step dad who was called Jack but was actually John Seamus.
No luck on Seamus.
John got me the top entry on this page.
It would seem that Cains might have been there but did they flit between the USA and Britain because they could afford to or because of family commitments perhaps?
The following is from Ancestry.com:

As you can see I haven't put many things down because the ones here are the closest to dates I got from your information.
There are loads of other individuals listed with the same names but of the few hundred I have gone through today they miss the target for dates or children.
Please if you have certificates could you double check them for middle names. We may be chasing a Rebecca who for legal reasons is actually Elizabeth Rebecca like her daughter.
if you got the information from family ask them if they have any more stories about the family eg was anyone in military, which army etc, was anyone a professional or sea captain etc
Other managers by all means jump in if you have any ideas. I am beginning to think this family were journeymen, gypsies by another name. Never in one place long.
By all means prove me wrong,lol.
