Title: TAIT - West Greenock - 1851/1861 Census
Post by: swa on Monday 12 December 05 02:27 GMT (UK)

Looking for further information about the following family:

John TAIT married Janet DORANCE on 24 August 1840 in West Greenock.

Together they had one child (that I know of):

Helen - born 1841 in West Greenock

If anyone has access to 1851/1861 census records, I would appreciate it if you could look up this family for me.

Best Wishes,

Hi Sarah
I have the 1851 Census index for Renfrewshire west. No Family with the forenames you have given were living in this area in 1851.

Jane

I have a record of John Tait and Janet Dorans (b 1816) from 1841 Greenock census, reference 34/10, sorry don't have the address, but the details were taken down by me personally whilst in Greenock.  Children are Helen b 30 June 1841, and John b 19 June 1843.

Hi Sarah,

I have a Jane Tait Kennedy who married William Easton probably in Dumbarton around 1900-1905.  Jane's parents were Matthew Kennedy and Helen m.s. Kennedy.  Does this ring any bells with you?
