Do you have your grandmother's birth cert?

ErikaH

ErikaH Report 30 Oct 2012 09:54

As far as one can tell, your grandmother did not have any brothers..........are you seriously suggesting that all of her nephews and nieces (of whom you have given details on here) were illegitimate? And, presumably, all having the same mother..............

Deaths Dec 1911 (>99%)
Tait Isabella 17 Newcastle T. 10b 149

1901 records a Margaret aged 8...........not with family in 1911

There is, however, a Jane aged 18 in 1911, who isn't on 1901

I'm not rubbishing your ideas..........just trying to rationalise the situation......

You are, it seems, making a lot of guesses............

You don't appear to have done any research..............try using freebmd

Horace 'living' in Newcastle does not mean that he was born there

The old addresses are not necessary..........just the name of the town/village.and the approx. year when they were applicable

There are very few Horace Tait births.
There is this birth in free bmd:
Births Jun 1920
Tait Horace J A Tait Leicester 7a 521
and subsequent death:
Horace James A Tait
Birth Date: 13 Apr 1920
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1972
Age at Death: 52
Registration district: Huntingdon
Inferred County: Huntingdonshire
Volume: 4b
Page: 958
so nothing to do with Newcastle.

You could apply for the certificate for Winifred, as you have no proof that she is related.

There is this marriage, with some details removed for privacy:
Marriages Mar 1950
Tait Horace C Ord Newcastle T.
which is more promising, but I cannot see any birth for Horace C.

Added:
Horace C appears to be on 192.com in Newcastle.
Worth applying to see address?

The information came from my mum. After she passed away I found the names and adr. in her notebook, but she did also tell me of her cousins in Newcastle.

Gross is the surname Margaret had after marriage and Winnie married to someone with the surname Bruce. I could put the old addresses on here if it is OK to do so.

I have had a closer look into albums from my mum and i find a photo of a young man and where she has written on the back of the photo "My cousin Horace Tait living in Newcastle". When I think of it I do remember her telling of him. I am pretty sure that he was Margaret and Winnies brother.

You can look for marriages on free bmd:
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Unfortunately I cannot see either of those marriages. Do you know the area?
Is Bruce the surname?
Where did the information come from?
Thanks

The author of the linked thread is my cousin Stefan. His mother was my aunt Ellen (Nellie) Rudge. He has also been searching for relatives of us living or lived in Newcastle.

Winnie married Bruce and Margaret married Gross. I have no information of when they married.

If Winnie was born in 1912 it is quite likely she has since died.
Her birth certificate will give an exact date of birth and who is her Mother.
As there are several possible births for Margaret, and a variety of marriages for both, you must have obtained marriage information from others. What other leads have they given you?
Yes, you can put their new surnames on here, just leave off the precise marriage details, just put place and year.

The 1911 census that Reggie posted (which is also on the other thread that I gave the link to) says that Mary N was born in Newcastle. In fact all the family claim to be born in Newcastle - so why do you believe this is your Mary?

Hi
First of all thanks for all the feedback.

My grandad Horace Charles Rudge was born in London feb 7. 1897 and my grandmother Mary Nicol Tait in Dumfriesshire, Scotland nov 22 1899. They where married january 12. 1921 in Newcastle. Horace was registered as Harry Charles Rudge. Why they married in Newcastle I do not know, but my grandad was wounded in the WWI by Marne in France and came to Edinburgh
where he met Mary, and perhaps then moved down to Newcastle.

From the 1911 census I find Mary Nicol her father James who is a vidower at that time and Marys two sisters Margaret b. 1903 and Isabell b. 1894. There was also a sister by the name Jane.

Isabell died young. The living relatives in Newcastle Margaret and Winnie I do not know if their mother was Margaret or Jane. When it comes to Margaret and Winnie I have their surnames after marriage and I also have an old adress to them both. I have been searching for and trying to find a new adress, but so far no luck. I guess I can`t put their surnames on this board for privacy reasons.

Helpful thread:

from another grandson.

But if correct there were no brothers for Mary.
So single Mother births for Winnie and Margaret?

Added:
Births Jun 1912
Tait Winifred Tait Newcastle T. 10b 344

There is a Margaret birth in Newcastle in 1924, but others elsewhere also.

3 people on here have Winifred Tait, 1912, Newcastle, in their trees.
