It's all falling into place.
I've just found the baptism records for the children of Helen Dye (Thomas Dye and Mary Gillespie's daughter).
As you know she married James Veitch. She must have been close to both her mother and step-mother, as her two daughters were baptised as:
Mary Gillespie Veitch born 2nd July 1865 and baptised on 5th November 1886 - and
Jeannie Cruickshanks Veitch born 19th August 1867 and baptised with her sister on 5th November 1886.
So, I think this certainly proves that Thomas was indeed married twice and that we have the correct marriages.
Just thought I'd let you all know.

Karen
