There is a Dunning local history web site well worth looking at. http://www.dunning.uk.net/index.html Most Dunning baptisms of that period are on http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/index.php and I think on the IGI for Perthshire. There are 4 Cairns entries on Gravestones in Dunning churchyard. See the local history site. Dunning 1851 census is part of the '2% sample' of 1851 offered in various places for lookups.
