I did some additional checking into my record and found the names of their children, but it don't include a Gmelin anywhere so the possibilities are:

1. They aren't the right 'parents'
2. Gmelin's baptism wasn't registered
3. Isabella wasn't Gmelin's mother

Since this family is not Jewish, I find it impossible to believe that Gmelin was not baptized or that his baptism wasn't registered.

The marriage in Holy Island:  31 May 1807 William Tait of the parish of Shillbottle and Isabel Wilson of this parish by banns  Wit:  Robert Tait,  William Brown and Thomas Wilson.

My guess why the records are in Shillbottle is because banns were also called there.  The LDS did not always say those were banns and recorded as marriages which just confuses all.

I don't know if this is your family or not but there is a baptism in Holy Island of Jane Tait 2nd daughter born 22 Sep 1811 baptised 27 Oct 1811 d/O William Tait, labourer native of Norham, by his wife Isabella Wilson, d/o Thomas Wilson, Fisherman of Holy Island.

Northumberland:  Grey/Gray, Richardson, Barnfather, Heron, Redpath

Janis, the fact that Gmelin was not baptized in 1811 at the same time as Jane leads me to believe that this is NOT the same family.
