Title: Searching for Agnes Cairns birth record
Post by: Reedal on Wednesday 27 September 23 21:28 BST (UK)
Hi There
I was searching for Agnes Cairns birth record. I know she was born around 1856-58 in Stockton-On Tees in Durham England but no birth record. I came across an Agnes Keirnan born in Blackhill, Durham England. Could this be a possibility in variation of the surname? I'm just intersted as she is a distant link to my DNA matches. Look forward to your reply.

Failure to register a birth only became a fineable offence in 1874 so it isn't unusual to be unable to find a record prior to that date

Where did you get that info from?

From DNA matches in their family trees. Multiple sources but none have the record.
Thanks

Sorry for any confusion. I was not aware that Cairns had so many variations. A lot of the replies proved that! Cairns-Keirnan-Kearns. I appreciate the feedback.
