More on Caines in Burgeo, Newfoundland:
My great-grandmother was Caroline Caines b.1856 (in Burgeo) m.20 Nov 1877 to William J Davidge b.27 Aug 1850
Her parents were John Caines and Martha Vatcher
His parents were John Davidge and Sarah Jane Guy
Caroline's sister, Phoebe b.1862 m. 12 Dec 1886 to Alfred Thomas Davidge b.1860
We do not know who, if any other siblings there were of Caroline and Phoebe.
Two brothers married to 2 sisters = all their children were double-cousins. The 2 couples built a large double house, each living in one side. There were 17 children between the 2 couples.
I have more history available on those who are Davidge descendants.
I've been more involved with trying to put the Davidges back together, but am running into collateral names -Matthews, Guy, Northcott, Vatcher, Dicks.
There is a Newfoundland Genealogy site where a Rowena Caines is mentioned in the photo credits.
All extra info welcomed.
