Author: JPG8711 Surnames: Harrower Tait, Cree Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.harrower/44/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I am looking for help finding info on Peter Harrower of St Cuthberts, Edinburgh, who married Margaret Tait in 1853. I already have his census info, so I don't need cut-and-pastes of those, thanks, I am just trying to find more about him, and more specifically his wife. Margaret's sister Mary Tait (married name Ross) was my direct ancestor, but I've hit brick walls with their family. I can't find either sister's birth record, and I believe there was a third sister also. The name Harrower shows up in Mary's family too, as for some odd reason her daughter's middle name, which on her baptism cert is Hay, turns into Harrower on her marriage cert in 1877, and also as a middle name for some of her own children. I don't know what contact Mary and Margaret's family had with one another, but wondered if perhaps Mary's daughter spent time with the Harrowers growing up, as it is likely her parents died when she was very young. The 1861 census has Peter as a china merchant, although his marriage cert says engineer, He was born in East Lothian.
