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

[stuartroxy]

My great grandparents, Jane Good and Thomas Roberts, were married in Canongate on 21 April 1899.  Jane's parents were James and Christina (MS Tait); Jane gave her age as 21. 

I can't find a marriage of James Good and Christina Tait.  However, I did find a marriage of James Good and Christine Tait McIntyre in Canongate on 29 December 1882.

Am I on the right track?

Anyone any ideas?

Hiya, did you find Janes birth cert? c 1878, can you find her in the 1881/1891 census, just so you could maybe confirm her parents ages, see if they tie in with the ages on the marraige cert?

Sorry for the tardy response; I've been off for a while!

I have been unable to find a BC for Jane - I'm not even sure who to look for; Jane Good, Jane Tait, Jane McIntyre or someone else.  Hence my original question.

There was a death of a Christina Good, other name M*cIntyre, born 1842, in 1912, St George, Edinburgh. I found this on scotlandspeople under their free search. I am sure this must be your Christina and it may give you more clues.
Another thought, but haven't found anything yet, could she have been married before?

Rae,

Thanks.  I'll try that avenue.  I'll let you know the results!

There is this entry in 1901:

James Good 56, Labourer (general) b. South Leith
Chirstina Good 59b. South Leith
James Good 25 Labourer (general) b. Edinburgh

Address: 3 High Street, Edinburgh

I saw this earlier, just had a problem finding Jane with this family. From 1891:

James Good 45 labourer b. Duddingston
Christina Good 46 b. Hill, Niddrie
James Good 15 Apprentice Blacksmith b. Edinburgh

Address: 52 Holyrood Sq, Edinburgh

We had a possible entry for Jane in 1891 from earlier, already working away from home.

Stuart, you had found a possible later marriage for James and Christina in 1882.

Would be good to get some clues from 1881

Thanks Monica. I'm having trouble with the 1881 Census.  Again, I don't know who to look for!

I've got a couple of things to work at.  I'll post my results!
