Tait family from Ireland 1840+
« on: Monday 08 December 08 16:23 GMT (UK) »
I have the Tait family recorded from (1840) to present.
I am trying to establish from where in Ireland they originated.
Alexander is buried in Old Monkland (New Burial Ground) Lair 28-S, 1884.
I understand that there is another Tait buried there also.
It would be appreciated if sks could have a look ( I live in Gloucestershire ) and let me know to enable me to do my research laterally.
TIA,
Gwyn.

There are 2 Alexander Taits on the 1881 census for Old Monkland. Do you have the names of his family?

The Tait family on the 1881 Census lived at Neilsons Land which I believe is now part of Coatbridge. Alexander was employed as a Railway Signalman.
I have the lineage from Alexander and his wife Mary Connelly down to present living relatives.
I am endeavouring to place his antecedents in Ireland. His parents were Joseph & Jane (Currie) Occupation Linen Weaver.

Gwyn.
