Martin Cain & Bridget Fohrnan Cain Family
These photos were provided to my mother by Veva Nickerson Tanner. They appear to be
photos of photos without benefit of a macro lens or a good photo copy stand. This explains
the muddiness of the image. I hope that one day I can get access to better copies of the
originals to scan and share.
Martin Cain married Bridget Fohrnan. They had at least nine children: Michael, Mary,
Ellen Honora, Bridget, John, Thomas, James, Kate, & Patrick.
These photos are labeled, so I won't try to describe them here, except for the first
one. The first photo was labeled Aunt Bridget and shows her with an unidentified man.
Martin and Bridget had a daughter named Bridget who never married and who died by drowning
at 55 years of age (considered a probable suicide). However, their son Michael married
Bridget Welsh, the sister of John Welsh who married Ellen. Since either of these women
could be considered an Aunt to the descendants of Ellen (my direct ancestor), I labeled
the photo as Bridget Welsh and Michael Cain. This is only a supposition.
