hi norrie 

from the IGI looks like james tait and janet adie had the following children

george tait b. 1835
euphemia tait b. 1838
robert tait b. 1842
helen keir tait b. 1845

this could be them in 1841(from freeCEN)

sandport kinross kinross'shire(ALL BORN KINROSS)
james tait 36 woolen handloom weaver
janet tait 25
euphemia tait 3

if you have robert tait and mary donaldson's marriage cert it should confirm
the names of the parents
