Robert Cain (Brewer) (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Robert Cain (1826-1907) was the founder of the firm Robert Cain and Sons, a brewer in Liverpool, England. He was born on Spike Island, County Cork, Ireland on April 29, 1826, the son of James Cain (1797-1871), a private soldier in the 88th Foot, a regiment of the British Army. There is some dispute over the identity of Cain's mother. Later family records and stories claim that his mother was Mary Deane, the daughter of Alexander Deane, an architect and mayor of Cork. However, in the entry for his brother William in the Liverpool register of births his mother's maiden name is listed as Mary Kirk (died 1864).
