Tait Family

Heather,

Can you give us some dates please? Roughly when was Rebecca born? What else do you know about the family? What were their occupationss, whereabout sin the county did they live etc. What denomination were they?

Rebecca was born 1892 I think in Dublin, Her father was Rev William Corbett Tait and mother was Adelaide Mabel (Known as Ade)  Morrison.born in Dublin to  Rev Simpson Gabriel Morrisn and wife Rebecca Beggs The Tait's  lived in Kilrush Co Clare, and lived in Factory Lane. Rev William Tait was a Presbyterian Minister.I don't know if mother worked or what her occupation might have been before she married.

That is about all I know about the family. I'd love to know if Rebecca Adelaide  Victoria ever married if she had any children ,when she died  and when and where she is burred

Regards,

Heather

Heather,

This looks to be Rebecca in 1911, attending school in Londonderry:

Rebecca was still single in 1913 when her father died. She was the informant but called herself Victoria. See:

I looked for a marriage in the Republic of Ireland 1913 – 1930 but did not find one.  I searched for a death up to 1965 but again did not find one.

I also looked for her mother’s death post 1913 but could not find it. Perhaps they had left Ireland? Bear in mind that the Minister’s Manse (ie his accommodation) normally belonged to the church and upon his death the family would normally be expected to leave as it would be required by his successor. So his widow and daughter may well have left the area.

The Presbyterian Historical Society in Belfast keeps records of all Presbyterian Ministers in Ireland. The records note the details of their careers and also can contain information about family. It might be worth e-mailing them to see if they happen to know what became of Adelaide & Rebecca.
