Hi Jillian

I believe James LATTA or LATTO b Ceres was the son of :
John LATTA & Christian GALLOWAY

his wife: Isabella BAXTER was the daughter of:
Charles BAXTER & Isabella MORRIS
(Isabella BAXTER nee MORRIS is on the 1901 Census with her daughter now Mrs Isabella BAIN).

James & Isabella had 5 children: 
Isabella Morris LATTA b 1873 Dunfermline (C81, and birth on IGI)
Catherine LATTA b 1875 Dunfermline (C81 & C91)
John LATTA b abt 1877 Buckhaven (C81 & C91)
Annie LATTA b abt 1879 Buckhaven (81 & C91)
Jemima LATTA b abt 1882 (C91)

1891: 134 Lumphinnans  - Ballingry
Head: John BAIN 38, Coal Miner, b Auchterderran, Fife
Wife: Isabella B BAIN 38, b Auchterderran, Fife
Dau: Isabella BAIN 18, Linen Weaver Unemployed ,  b Auchterderran, Fife
Son: John BAIN 15, Coal Miner, b  b Auchterderran, Fife
Dau: Elizabeth BAIN 13, Pithead Worker, b  b Auchterderran, Fife
Son: Thomas BAIN 8, b Wemyss Fife
Son: Henry BAIN 1, b Beath Fife
Step-Dau: Catherine LATTA 16, Pithead Worker, b Dunfermline Fife
Step-Son: John LATTA 14, Coal Miner, b Wemyss Fife
Step-Dau: Annie LATTA 12, Mothers Help, b Wemyss Fife
Step-Dau: Jemima LATTA 9, Scholar, b Wemyss

James LATTA died 1885 in Buckhaven (Wemyss).
Your gt-Grandad Thomas BAIN was born abt 1883 - predating the death of James LATTA.

In 1881 James & Isabella and their children are on the Census as LATTO.

Both of John BAIN's wives were named Isabella. His first was Isabella HUGH married 1872 Beath.
In 1881 John BAIN is with his 1st wife named Isabella & their chd, who have some similar names and/or ages as the LATTA(O) children. The eldest of John & Isabella HUGH's children was named Isabella b 1872 Auctherderran and is on the IGI.

Scotlands People records the death of Isabella BAIN other surname HUGH, in 1886 Auchterderran - approx 3 years after the birth of Thomas BAIN.

On the face of it,  it looks to me as if Thomas BAIN was the biological son of Isabella HUGH, not of Isabella BAXTER.

Although, if Isabella BAXTER was  the only 'mother' he really knew -  I wonder what mother name was recorded on  his marrriage and death? And if this agrees with his birth record?

(I'm not related to these families - I do have LATTO's though, and have researched many of the LATTO & LATTA families in Scotland out of interest in the name  Smiley )

Cheers
