Hello All. I am really hoping that someone will be able to help me. I am trying to trace my mum's family. Her grand father was called George Caines and I believe he was English (Devon?) Born around 1868. He married Rebecca. He was in the Army poss 11th Regiment/Devonshire and served overseas (Malta/Egypt). I believe my grandfather Arthur was born in Malta 1910- and a great aunt was born in Cairo few years either side. I can't find any records to validate info. Can anyone help please |

Have you looked for him in the 1881 census? |

Do you know when and where he married Rebecca? What was her maiden name? |

Rebecca's maiden name I think was Mitchell, Regret do not know date of marriage but she was Irish. There is a tentative link to a place called Cavan in what was Ulster at that time. Also believe great uncle Samuel may have been borm in Cairo. |

There is a marriage registered for a George Cains Armagh 1898 Jul-Sept Volume 1 page 53 and a Marriage for Rebecca Mitchell with the same details. This could possibly be your marriage. |
