Title: Cain(e) / Linskey of Galway
Post by: mcaine on Monday 03 November 08 12:52 GMT (UK)
I have traced my lineage to a marriage between James Cain(e) (b @ 1820) and Ann Linskey both of Galway. They married in 1844 - St Pauls Warrington.  respective fathers Martin Cain(e) & James Linskey.  Also a Julia Cain(e) a witness at the wedding.

Does anyone have any further information or can point me in right direction to track Martin & James Cain(e) or James Linskey in Galway?  i have had the dna testing done via Rory Cains CAINE dna website & it comes back as definitley Galway - with Major Rory Cain as a direct link via dna.

I am also trying to trace James & Anns daughters - Mary Cain(e) b 1845 Warrington & Catherine Caine b 1856 Altrincham Cheshire

Griffiths Valuation (1847 to 1864) includes a James Linsky in Dromore Parish, Galway.
 
Most of the Linsky entries on Griffiths are in the west of Ireland
with 14 in Co. Galway , 22 in Co. Mayo
also 'Lynskey' 2 in Galway, 11 in Mayo
and 'Lynsky' 6 in Galway, 29 in Mayo, 1 in Sligo

There are also several Martin Caine listed for the Parish of Burrishoole, Co. Mayo

Both parents (Michael & Phoebe) are listed being born in Ireland.

Shane - many thanks for the Linsky info.  Looks like Dunmore is a distinct possibility.

The Stockport Caines I am aware of & they are a different family to those I seek - my Cains are in the 1851 census in Altrincham, Cheshire - but listed as surname Kean - occ given as fish dealer. (marr. cert in !844 shows name as Cain).  Subsequent censuses gives name Cain then later Caine.

Usual tale i think - an Irish accent & you can't read or write - so the scribe puts you down as what he hears
