No letters left or relatives still alive that can remember anything.The 1st family member went in 1894 Emily Jessie Campbell (1876 Perth)(sister) and she married Ebenezer Praf Jones in 1899.John Kirk Campbell (brother)(3/12/1884 Perth)arrived in 1905 and was sponsored by Jessie Campbell.3rd brother Andrew Craigdallie Campbell (25/11/1892 Perth)arrived in 1912.
Emily and Andrew C stayed and I can trace them but after 1910 can't find John.
Betsy was single when she gave birth to Henry in Edinburgh in a single servants birthing hostel.We think his father may have been a Crawford as Crawford is not a family name.
No idea whether she met Mr Tait in US or Scotland.On her son Henrys marriage cert in 1922 he states mothers name as Elizabeth Campbell Tait and that she is decd.

Thanks,that explains a lot.

Yes born 24/01/1879 Perth
She was born Betsy but on later census returns written as Elizabeth
Her parents were John Campbell and Janet/Jessie Craigdallie
thanks for the quick response

 On the trail of Betsy who emigrated to the US(New York) we think around 1904 and family rumour says she married a Tait.The trail goes cold past the 1901 Scotland census and she left behind her young son Henry Crawford Campbell(born 1899 Edinburgh) who never saw her again but communicated by letter.
Other family moved to New York and there was heresy that she worked as a servant for the Van der Bilt household on 5th Ave..
Can't find her at all in US,any advice much appreciated.

Thanks for advising me.
