Looking for Robert Lawson Tait b1904 Edinburgh, parents William James Tait and Jessie Kidd Grant. Hope somebody has him tucked away somewhere!!
Thank you

Look for him in 'search all member trees' - under the search option top right

You need Scotlands People for his birth and to view the 1911 census

If he stayed in Scotland you also need the site for a possible marraige and his death

The only record for him using the full name on SP is his birth

Suggestion ONLY

He isn't the Robert Tait on 1930 US census in Michigan

Thank you Erika, it might be him in Michigan - they had relatives there.

I clearly said that it isn’t that one
