I have been able to trace the family, not only in Australia, but also England & Canada, l also was given the family tree to the Cail family in South Africa, from your great-great grandfather William Cail (1825-1892) & his 1st wife Mary Ann Burrell & 2nd wife Jane Johnston. I am told they are connected to my family, but am having trouble with this, as l need to know William's parents names. My email address is d.cail@yahoo.com, if you are still interested in information on the Cail's, maybe we can help each other. Regards David Cail Melbourne, Australia
