Hi Karen, I will help you as soon I as I have more time, do you have a tree on Geni, if so please give the link.

HI Petronella,
Thank you for responding so quickly.
Apologies some corrections having checked my databasee:

Missing Link
Great great grandfather: William George Tait (1805-77) m. Elsje Elisabeth Bezuidenhout
Great grandfather: William Henry Tait (1855-1918) m. Carolina Johanna Sophia Van Bosch
His children: William George, Susan Joanna Sophia Tait, Alice Elisabeth, Janet, John Anthony, PieterJohn (Tommy), Caroline Johanna Sophia, Isaac Henry (died WW1 at Delville Wood), Martha Jeanette, Frank and David.

Hi Shane

Thanks for this. I will put my info on the site over the next few weeks for sharing. I only have some time on weekends.

I do particularly want to see what is evidenced for Isaac Tait and Janet Barr. Scottish records have not provided me with any info yet. There are family anecdotes that their passage on the Carmarthen had been paid for. The cost would have been more than a year's wages at the time. Recently found that during the Highland clearances the land owners started paying families the passage.

Tait is a common name from the Scottish Borders (Reivers) to Shetland and Orkney. Originally Old Norse "Taetr" meaning cheerful or gay. The Taits are associated with the McInnes and Ogilvy clans.

Regards, Karen

Any connection to Tait chips sold by Checkers ??

Wish we knew Trevor, it will the younger generation, not so easy to get there info

H everybody - according to my website the last correspondence on this issue was in January 2019. Perhaps your questions have been answered. I have just joined the genealogy processes. Anyway, My second great grandfather was John Tait, brother of William George Tait mentioned by Karen above. John was married to Clasina Adriana van Loggerenberg in 1832, and after her death to Adriana Johanna Barnard in 1839. His second child with Adriana was Lovina Catharina Tait, and she married Hendrikus Hermanus Muller in 1861, and then in 1867 married Joachim Christoffel van Loggerenberg, my great grandfather. One of his sons, Jan Tait van Loggerenberg (1869-1941) was married to Johanna Wilhelmina Steyn (1877-1944), the daughter of Johan Willem Kemp Steyn (1850-1911 - I cannot locate his - Johan's - parents - perhaps someone can help?), and Aletta Frederika Black. My father was Daniel Cornelius Steyn (1916-2007). Thought you may find this interesting. Regards.

Incidentally, I have conflicting information regarding some of the parents of the Tait Progenitors, Isaac Tait, * abt 1780, from Eyemouth, Berwick, Scotland, who was married to Janet Barr - her father is given as William Barr, and it is his wife that I have a conflict about: was it Jean Nisbet or Janet McCunn? Can anybody help?
Thanks
Etienne
