(Note: This tree has been created from one sent to me by Sandra Cairncross of Edinburgh. It incorporates, and therefore will replace F-T-12 and F-T-40. Sandra has created a superb document based on this family tree, appearing to go back much earlier in time. It was done as a present for her father, Ronald. Sandra has asked me to include it in this site. It is a Word document and here is a direct link to it. The origin of F-T-40 came from the book, “Cairncross – History of a Scottish Family” by Arthur Fawthrop Cairncross and Bertram Lilburne Cairncross, Section No.5(d) – (5), page 174.)

a. WILLIAM FYFFE was born in 1899 in Edinburgh, Midlothian.

b. JAMES FYFFE was born about 1900 in Edinburgh, Midlothian.

10. JAMES CAIRNCROSS was born in 1874 in Dundee Angus. He died on 14 Dec 1949 in Dundee Angus. He married (1) GEORGINA RATTRAY in 1908 in Dundee. He married (2) LILY KELLY, daughter of William Kelly and Agnes Reid in 1899 in Dumbarton. She was born about 1875 in Glasgow, Lanarks. Her name on marriage certificate is Lizzie, on 1901 census it is Lily, and on James’s death certificate it is Agnes. (Additional information from F-T-12:  occupation: shipwright, had a confectioner's shop in Clepington Road, Dundee.) 

a. AGNES D. CAIRNCROSS was born about 1900 in Govan, Lanarks.

b. ELIZABETH B CAIRNCROSS was born in 1904 in Glasgow (tbc).

d. DAVID CAIRNCROSS photo was born in Jul 1826 in Angus, Scotland. He died on 11 Jun 1900 in South Africa. He married (1) 14 Apr 1850 to FILADY SUSANNA THYSE, born 1833. She died on 11 May 1858 in Hopedale, Uniondale, South Africa. Here’s her death notice. This document suggests her maiden name was Fortuyn. He married (2) 28 Feb 1859 in Hopedale to MARY (or MARIA) MATTHYS in 1860 (abt). She died on 20 Jul 1863 in South Africa. Here’s her death notice. He married (3) 6 Jan 1864 in Haarlem to REGINA DRAAI in 1865 (abt). She was born about 1843 and died on 31 Oct 1895 in South Africa. Here is her death notice. (See notes on David in Appendix 9. See the Death Notice of David. This document contains a lot of information including details of his three wives, and the children resulting from those marriages. Here is an article sent to me by George Cairncross of Filey, featuring David Cairncross, and entitled, “Life is easy in Haarlem.”). Here is a link to this family in the book CAIRNCROSS – History of a Scottish Family”. Scroll down to Appendix 5 (d) (5) In the same book here is a link to this David – Chapter 22.
In her email to me in Nov 2017, Myrtle Muller says,” The 1st wife of David CX 1826 whose surname was Fortuyn also Voortuin is currently known as Fortuin. The 2nd wife of David CX 1826 Mary also known as Maria in Afrikaans language whose surname, appearing as Thys, Tyze, Thysse, Matthys in various documents, has since been changed to Thyssen.” Murtle suggests this often happens because of general illiteracy by church scribes when transcribing names. Here are three marriage certificates which support what Myrtle has said. These are David Cx and (1) FILIDA SUSANNA VOORTUIN, (2) MARY THYS AND ( 3) REGINA DRAAI.

Children of David and Filady Thyse:

1. DAVID CAIRNCROSS (see photo) was born Mar 1852 in South Africa. He died on 15 May 1918 in Haarlem, Uniondale, South Africa (age given as 76 (see note)). He married SOPHIA ILIDIA REGINA JANTJES. Here is Sophia’s Death Notice. David's death record gives age as 76. This would mean that David would have been born in 1842. But his father would have been in teens and possibly still in Scotland. I wonder if his age was transcribed wrongly e.g. 76 instead of 67. Here is a copy of David’s death notice in two pages; page 1 and page 2. Here’s a photo of David with wife Sophia. Here’s another photo of David.

(Ricarda Witbooi has since sent me details of a tree compiled by Jacqueline Swem. If compared to Myrtle’s tree, there are 2 people listed by Myrtle but not by Jacqueline. These are c.
