Notes:
  *
The John Coumans entry appears on line 24
  *Notice the spelling - "Coumens"  . . . this family name was mis-spelled a lot!
  *I don't really understand the bit about all 8 family members being natives of Ireland . . . John Coumans and his wife supposedly had their children in Canada.
   *Another thing that doesnt make much sense is the "births" entry. Does this mean that John and his wife had 3 boys and 3 girls while living in Kincardine? Or could this mean simply that 6 children were born in the house . . . regardless of whose they were?
