Tait's in Tweedmouth or Berwick
« on: Sunday 10 October 04 15:39 BST (UK) »
Trying to find details of 2 Alice Taits marrying Giles'. Alice Tait b 1799 in Berwick married Benjamin Giles, child Peter Tait Giles b 1835 also married an Alice Tait b 1844 in Tweedmouth. I have been unable to find any trace of Peter and Alice's marriage probably about 1860, they were living in Byker (1881 census) so I assume they were married in Newcastle. Have checked BDM etc no luck
Benjamin and Alice are shown on 1841 census as living in Newcastle on Tyne.
Anything would be great
Thanks Morna

Hi Morna

You probably have this info already, but I'll leave it anyway.  From the 1871 census:

Peter Giles, 35, Head, Tweedmouth, Bricklayer
Alice Giles, 28, Wife, Tweedmouth
John Giles, 9, Son, Newcastle, Scholar
Benjamin Giles, Son, 7, Newcastle, Scholar
Thomas Giles, Son, 5, Newcastle, Scholar
Peter Giles, Son, 3, Newcastle
Graham Giles, Son, 1, Newcastle

They were living at 21 Tent Street, Gateshead.

I've looked at the BMD info and Pallot's marriage index but could find nothing on either marriage. ::)

Regards, Emma ;)

Thanks Emma
I have Giles info going back to 1700's but the Taits are a mystery to me. I had hoped that if I could find a marriage that would give me something to go on.
