      James Dunsire, age 26, 26 Mid Street, Lochgelly, Journeyman Tailor.
      The marriage was conjectural, arising out of the 1901 census entry for the family of James' brother David [b.1859] in Auchterderran (Lochgelly), which shows a mystery 'Elizabeth, 30', and four children under ten - Agnes [8], David [7], Jessie [6] and Lizzie [4]. Agnes, Jessie and Lizzie were David's; the second David [7] [there already was a David age 15] indicates a different family, probably headed by Elizabeth. In the Statutory Register there is a marriage in 1892 between James Dunsire and Elizabeth Reid, which although it took place in Kingsbarns (rather far from Lochgelly) otherwise fits the known facts; the marriage certificate confirms the guess. One of the witnesses was David Penman, probably brother of his sister's husband William Penman. Also in the Statutory Registers is the death of a James Dunsire in St Giles, Edinburgh in 1898, age 36. This death would explain why the household in Lochgelly did not include James in the 1901 census, but not why it did not include David.
