William Tait.
« on: Wednesday 22 August 18 07:49 BST (UK) »
I have a William Tait in my tree who was married to a Mary.
He was born I think 1816 in Cummertrees.
They had a daughter Mary who married James Scott and that’s all I really know.
Any other information would be great.

Hi,     

"Any other info would be great"  ?    

To help you, all of us will possibly repeat all the same research . . . . .when we could actually be looking for info on your target?     

How did you get back to their daughter?     

How did you get back to their daughter marrying?     

How did you know that it was that particular Mary who married Mr Scott.     

Who were their children, DoBs?   

etc.

You had Mary Tait married James Scott in your original post.

So you are really looking for her Mothers mn, ie Mary who married William Tait?

I still havent worked that out yet but more on that later.

William may be William James Tait as in 1861 we have;

James Tait   45
Mary Tait   50
Catherine Tait 10
Mary Johnston Tait 10mths, Granddaughter
James Charters   22
John Mckinzie   36
James Howison   28
James Landsborough   20

Name: Mary Johnstone Tait
Gender:   Female
Birth Date: 10 Jan 1860
Birth Place: Cummertrees,Dumfries,Scotland
Mother MARGARET Tait

1871 Census
William Tait 55
Mary Johnston Tait 11

1881 MJ Tait is with her Aunt;
Cathrine Tait 29
Mary Tait   21
Williamina Tait   9

So it appears Mary Tait dies between 1861-1871 and her Death Cert from Scotlandspeople will give you the info you require.
