I am trying to find the parents of Anthony Cain/Kain. Anthony was born abt 1849 and his sister was born March 13th 1841both born in Newcastle. I believe their parents to be John Cain and Elizabeth Earle. Could anyone please check the 1851 census for me please. As I have been stuck on this family for a very long time. Any info about them would be much appreciated. I believe Mary Cain married Thomas McGravey born abt 1839 Ireland but once again I have been unable to find anything on the McGravey family. Except that they had 2 daughters Helena McGravey born 1863 and Rose Ann McGravey (my 2x great grandmother) but I have not been able to find them on any census. Would be good to know if there are anymore siblings. Anthony born abt 1849 Newcastle married Mary Shields Aug 21st 1871 Newcastle. Any info on any of them would be much appreciated. With thanks Donna

Hope you don't mind the question.............how do you know Mary is his sister, if you haven't found them together on a census? Presumably, you have some documentary proof.............. Reg

Hi Reggie, I have a about 40 pieces of paper with different family trees on it connected to each other and it has the tree and the drawing with Mary and then Anthony on it. So I have not got any census. Just have to take the word of the family member that drew it up and passed it onto me. So I have no proof of it. I don't mind you asking. With kind regards Donna
