FREDERICK KANE

Generally speaking Frederick Kane is not a much found name. There is a Frederick Kane in county 'Londonderry' found in the 1796 Flax Growers List for Ireland. Linen manufacture was a chief source of employment in Macosquin and surrounding area in earlier times. The 1796 Frederick is not likely to be the same one as the 1848-1864 Frederick, but may be his father or uncle, or even grandfather.

Frederick married Mrs KANE MS UNKNOWN. (Mrs KANE MS UNKNOWN was born about 1795.)
