Her destination was sister Jessie, c/o 16 Garfield Avenue, Toronto. Mary married a gent whose forename was Adam (surname unknown) and had at least 2 sons. The family lived in Keswick, duration unknown. Mary's siblings were Jessie, Catherine and brother James. All were born in Burntisland but emigrated to Canada during the 1930s.

Thank you both for your efforts which furthers my research.
John McKean Tait passed 1913 at Burntisland.
I assumed Mary married in Canada but was unable to figure out where to search - many thanks.
