Thomas b.1825, married twice: Euphemia Reid, daughter of Peter Reid and Isabella Dick, in 1849; and Eliza Baird, daughter of Watson Baird and Catherine Braid, in 1857. Euphemia died in 1856, of 'strangulation' - story yet to be investigated [Mark Anderson]. Thomas had fourteen children, but only three sons: David b.1850 (m. Janet McBain), Watson b.1858 (m. Barbara ), and Thomas b.1862 (m. Catherine Smith). In 1861 the family lived in Back Row, Methilhill: Thomas (35), a coal miner, his wife Eliza (23, born in Dundee), David (11), a linen spinner, Isabella (9), also a linen spinner (that is what the census entry says), plus Janet (6), Watson (2) and Catherine (1). By 1891 Thomas and Eliza and their three youngest daughters were living in Dubbiside, with Robina and her husband John Beveridge, another coal miner, and baby Robert. According to the Statutory Register of Deaths Index, a Thomas Dunsire age 69 died in Buckhaven in 1895. At the 1901 census Eliza Dunsire (widow, 64) is living at 6 Forth Place, Innerleven (i.e. Dubbiside), with daughter Jennie (21) and her husband Duncan Smith (26, hydraulic crane driver, born Scoonie), a granddaughter Elizabeth Baird Smith (1mo.), a visitor Robert Smith (55, gardener), and two boarders, Robert Hunter (43, from Edinburgh) and Charles Moyes (20, also from Edinburgh). According to the Statutory Register of Deaths Index, an Elizabeth Dunsire age 75 died in 1913 in Buckhaven: the dates, though not the forename, fit Eliza Baird.
Watson Dunsire b.1858 was in 1891 found living in North Leith with his wife Barbara Reid, and four children: Thomas (7), Elizabeth (5), Mary Reid Sinclair (2), and a baby Catherine Reid.
Thomas Dunsire b.1862 was in 1891 a boilermaker living in Sweetbank Cottage, Links, Leven, with his wife Catherine Smith (29, born in Leith) and two children, Margaret 92) and Thomas (1). The Leith connection is suggestive but has not been researched. Catherine b.1860 married James Robertson, of Livingston, West Lothian (later Cockpen, Edinburgh) in 1883; their children were Samuel 1883, Thomas 1886, Isabella 1890, William, and Walter. Catherine (known as Kate) later ran a corner shop in College Street, Buckhaven, and was buried in East Wemyss Cemetery (d.1933).
Isabella b.1852, mill worker, spinster, 25, of Kirkland, married Robert Gardner, flaxdresser, bachelor, 23, of Innerleven Markinch, on 5 July 1877 in Kirkland after banns according to the forms of the Church of Scotland. Eliza Baird was described on the marriage certificate as 'mother' of Isabella, though her birth mother was actually Euphemia Reid.
