The spelling of the Cable name has varied over the years depending who was writing it down. I have always worked on the theory that all the Cable families from the Forfar / Angus area are related however once we get back before official registration it is difficult to prove relationships without access to the records. It is difficult checking the records from NZ hence the reliance on list memebrs and other family members to assist with trying to find the family links. Through this list I have had some wonderful assistance which is why I have managed to get back as far as I have however there are some relationships in the family that have proved difficult to establish. I think the death records for the period 1750 to 1855 will eventually show the link. Hopefully someone somewhere will find the vitual link which will tie the family altogether.
