  • Notes 
    • As far as I know her maiden name was O'Hagan and she was born in England 1830 but not sure as to where in England,but think her parents were probably Irish.Daniel was as I said born in County Donegal to William and Helen nee McLaughlan/McLachlan.They had 8children,3 born in Ireland Ann,Philip and Daniel.5 born in Scotland Bridget,Helen/Ellen,John,Catherine and William.William must have died sometime between 1830-41.Helen eventually went to live with her daughter Bridget and her husband in Kilwinning Ayshire(1861 Scottish census).Helen died at Bartonholm a mining village near Irvine on 13th September 1862.Her death is registered under the name of Helen McKearns.This discloses her Parents as Daniel McLaughlan and Mary Docherty.As regards the changing names .as you can imagine names can be recorded incorrectly and also phonetically.Also sometimes the Mc is dropped as may have happened with your William Cairns.As I stated before William,s sister Jane, born 1866 was my grandmother she died in Glasgow in 1921.My DNA is 81% Irish although I was born in Glasgow The difficulty in tracing my forebears is that quite a lot of Irish records were destroyed during the troubles.If you manage to find out where in County Donegal the McCairns family came from please let me know.Regards Angus.
