  Thanks guys! great info! Still getting my head around it, I'm starting to think that Thomas McCairns may have married twice, or we are looking at 2 different Thomas Mccairns here! I have him marrying 'Catherine[a] Atterby in 1896 she could have died and James Atterby McCairns could have been named in memory of her? hmmmm, found a Thomas Mccaions [mistranscribed] on 1901, a proffesional Footballer that ties in well...... Anyone have access to 1901 that could help or does this new info shed anymore light?

 Thanks,
    Boris.
