Thanks for the info, I can't match the Tait's with mine.  My gg grandmother Isabella Tait was born in 1858 at Ladybank, Kirkoswald,  Her parents were John c1827 and Mary Harkness c1827.  I think that the father was originally from  Ireland.

Isabella Tait married Henry Gibson in Kirkmichael in 1877.  They had numerous children, Robert 1882, Mary 1883, Margaret 1887, John 1890, James 1890 (twins), James 1892, Samuel 1894, Isabella 1897, William 1899 and Jane 1902.

I'm really grateful for your time.

Many thanks

Yes sorry about that.  It was John Tait's father who was also called John was born in Ireland in1795.  He was married to Mary McCormick c1797 who came from Girvan.

I never knew there were so many Gibsons and Taits - and they all seem to be related in round about ways.  You can tell there were not televisions back then :)

Thanks

Many Thanks AMB, I think these Maybole Meek's were shoemakers from Armagh. Another piece in the jigsaw!     Skoosh, much obliged!
