Comment on Beer Aboard Ship in the Greenland Whale Fishery by Chris

Hello Ian

Sorry for the slow reply and thanks for ordering the book–I hope you enjoy it.

The Robert James strand of the Cain family is something of a mystery; RJC himself lived on Jersey so that may be where that connection comes from. I did come across some information about RJC while researching the book, but you will understand he was not my main focus. He was quite a character by all accounts; the black sheep of the family and probably also quite eccentric, but no fool. By all means use the contact form to get in touch directly if there’s anything specific I might be able to help with. I was in touch with some RJC descendents so you never know.

Dear Chris,

I was fascinated to learn about your book on the history of the Cain family and brewing in Liverpool. I am one of the great great great grandsons of Robert Cain. I also saw an e-mail from Herbert Morley Cain whom I believe to be a long lost cousin but unfortunately I was unable to reply. My maternal grandmother was born Yvonne Hilda Cain and her mother was Hilda Rose Belford married to Alexandra Bertram Cain. ABC was the grandson of Robert James and great grandson of Robert Cain. My grandmother was born in Jersey as I believe that ABC moved here after meeting Hilda and they became successful tobaccanists. I and my brother to this day wear with pride the Cain signet ring which is a demi stag and the motto “Pacem Amo”.

I would be most interested to get in touch and learn what else you have discovered about my family. I have ordered the book.

Kind regards,

Ian Goulson
