Christine Tait (Mcintyre) v James Good - any ideas? COMPLETED THANKS

[MonicaL]

Stuart, I'll just post a few 1881 entries with some of the names we have:

The closest I can see for a James Good (thinking here of future 1891/1901 entries already posted):

James Good 61, tailor b. Dalkeith, Edinburghshire
Catherine Good 45, wife (must be second wife given age)
James Good 36, son, brewer's lab. b. Duddingston
Christina Good 13
Thomas Good 10
Catherine Good 9
Gordon Good 5
Ann Good 3

Address: Echo Bank, Liberton Midlothian

1881 has a Christina Tait b. 1844 in Liberton showing as working in 6 Chambers Street, Edinburgh. I was trying to link her back to famiy but couldn't as there is there is also a 9 yrs old Christina Tait b. Libberton c. 1843/4 working away from home in 1851 and then every census year after that (1861/71/81).

For 1881, this was the only entry I could see that might fit for young Jane:

Ann Tait 64
George D Tait 39
Jemima Tait 32
Ann D Marshall 44
John Marshall 14
Helen Y Tait 10
Annie H Tait 8
Elizabeth Tait 7
Jane D Tait 5 grandchild b. Leith
Norah C Tait 4
Margaret Sterril 0

High St Bonnyrigg, Cockpen, Midlothian

Cannot see anything else Stuart. Not sure whether these isolated entries are connected. Also can't see anything under the surname McIntyre which seems to feature 

Have you viewed the 1882 marriage entry for the James and Christina that you found?

Thanks again, Monica, I quite liked the look of Jane D Tait as well.  I've not yet looked at the MC; I'll get some credits tomorrow!

Right.  I'm getting somewhere - I think!  Still not sure if it is along the right line!

The Christina Good who died in 1912 is the same one who married James in 1882.  I'm fairly sure that the brewer's labourer James Good who was living with James and Catherine Good in 1881 is the groom - age/employment/lack of alternatives.  Although, the only marriage to a James Good to a Catherine is in 1867 and they are the same age - so not them.

Still working on Jane though.  That lot aforementioned may be from a different tree!

Jane Dudgeon Tait is not mine.  Father was George - as expected.  Mother was Jane (I think) rather than Jemima - possible transcription/reading error (it's a poor copy!)

  Pity, Stuart.

Nothing added in nearly 2 months.  I guess that this thread has run its course.

Thanks.
