The fifth child of William Bellingham Cairnes (b 1832)and Elizabeth Matthews, Annie married Josiah Pitman in September 1889 in the Murray River town of Yarrawonga.

Their first child, Annie Eileen Pitman, my paternal grandmother, was born in 1891.

There were three other children of whom the only other information I have is that  that Jessie Cairnes Pitman (b 1895) probably married a man with the surname Ward, and that they may have had a daughter named Patricia.
