Hi there,
As a new member, I hope I'm doing this right. I found your discussion when trying to trace the family tree on my father's side.
From what i know, James Cairns (b. 1853 Balado, Kinross) changed his name to Wright later in life. He married Sarah Downs in 1877. One of their children, Margaret Cairns Wright (b. around 1889, died 1964) would have been my great grandmother. Would be interested in any further information if anyone has it.
I do know that Margaret married an Aurthur Ensell from Birmingham, but do not have much information about this. They had one daughter, Winifred Abernethy (b. approx 1912). Winifred married a Thomas Abernethy in Dunblane in 1939. Winifred and Thomas were the parents of my father, James Abernethy.
