Notes on Robert Caddies are:
(1) Blog comment from Jim Caddis: 27th Oct 2008 -
It seems that Robert Caddies (1770) moved to Saint Quivox Ayr
Scotland where he had his first child James b1796. Robert had at
least 4 children two born in Ayr Scotland and two in Ireland. It
looks as though Robert had moved back and forth from Scotland to
Ireland between 1796 and the birth of his daughter Rebecca b1819.
Robert’s grandson John Caddies b 30 Mar 1827 in Ayr (and married
there) died in Kilmarnock on 05 Nov 1873. This is the start of the
split between the two Ayrshire lines of the caddis family (Ayr and
Kilmarnock). John’s son James b1866 is also noted as the start of
spelling the surname without the (e) and has remained this way ever
since. Intriguing to note also that the Ayr line has also dropped
the (e) in recent generations.
(2) Blog comment from Jim Killie: 30 Dec 2010 - Yes the family name
was spelt caddies originally and yes we did come from Ireland. For
over 5 years I have done the family history but the Irish side has
always drawn a blank. My fourth great grandfather was Robert Caddies
born 1770 and married to Rebecca Mcginn or Gray. His children were
James, Thomas, William, John, Rebecca and Margaret. Three of the
kids were born in Ireland, the others in Ayr Scotland. I would be
over the moon if you say these are also your relations as I can find
nothing to locate where in Ireland any of them were born. We did
have an Isabella born in Newcastle but unsure if relation or not??
(3) Blog comment Jan Piep: 18 Mar 2012 - I also show Rebecca's name
being spelled Caddes, with Robert Caddies as the father and Rebecca
Gray being the mother. My family comes down thru Rebecca. My source
comes from the LDS Church records
(4) Blog comment from Jim Caddis: 18 Mar 2012 - I am not sure the
records for Rebecca are accurate, there is a rebecca in the 1841
census that lists her as 50 y/o?? Living on her own with William
McHullich and his family, however most records show Robert her
husband as being born around 1770. That would make her 21 years
younger than her husband?? It is not until John Caddies 1827 that we
can get access to official records, he lists his father as John and
mother Elizabeth Caddies (interestingly) ms Caddies. John was Robert
and Rebecca's child.
