Sorry PaulineJ
Perhaps I have posted to the incorrect board?? Burntisland is in Fife, Scotland.

Unfortunately Scotlands People is a pay site so, unless your sister can check on them in Edinburgh (I read your Canadian thread!), you might have to use up some credits.

I used one credit and found that there is only one Catherine/Jessie combination in Burntisland - Catherine (aged 9)  has middle initial A.


PS - I think the parents may be James and Jessie C. I'll investigate further.

This looks like the parents' marriage -

James Tait married Jessie Cattie Young, 1901. Burntisland

[Gadget]

The marriage has James's parents as James Tait, merchant seaman (deceased) and Catherine Ann M.S. Catton

This is James with his step father and his mother in 1891:

6 Somerville Street, Burntisland
Alexander Bannatyne, 28 (?), steam ship fireman
Katy Ana, 46, b. Ireland
James Tait, 18, Boilermaker's labourer, b. Burntisland

[Gadget]

Having problems at the moment with Jessie. The marriage has her parents as William Young (deceased) Farm Grieve and Elizabeth M.S Lathanie (?)*. Born circa 1880

* wonder if it's really a badly spelled Letheney. There are quite a few of those!

Just found this on your US thread, so we've got the correct family 

Think the one that Shelly refers to above is:-

Catherine Ann Tait  -Birth Date: 5 Apr 1902 - Other Country
Died 2 Jan 1991 -  San Diego
Mother's Maiden Name: Young

Accoding to SSDI - Last Residence: 91942  La Mesa, San Diego, California.

Succumbed and used up a few credits as I was getting nowhere with Jessie:

Birth 12 July 1880
9 Grays Lane
Lochee, Dundee
Jessie Catto Young (illegitimate)

Father - William Young, farm servant
Mother - Elizabeth Lethanie, domestic servant
