Anyone researching this surname before 1807? London area not Scotland.

Best thing is to put this name into 'search trees' and see if anyone has people born before this date in their tree.

Thanks brummiejan. Did that however all trees mention Scotland and my link is London.
Have now edited the op to name area.

Then I guess the answer is no! If you are stuck, might be best to start a thread on Find Ancestors board asking for assistance.

Have you used the variant of Tait or Tate when searching trees?

There were two lines of Tait in Middlesex / London before 1851. One came down from Northumberland and were pretty well britched, the others are to be found east of Bow Bells. AFAIK there is no connection, certainly not in London. As you have discovered up north and in Scotland there are lots of Taits.

Taitt is a misspelling of Tait - using London English as she is spoke Tait would be pronounced as something like "Tight" although the i would be doubled as a glottal stop - . Somebody chose to use "Taitt" which would force the correct flat a to rhyme with late. June Brown has it bang on even if she was born in Suffolk.

BTW no connection with Tate.

If you post something more specific you will get more tightly focused answers.
