• Notes

  Family #63. James Dunsire and Ann Hastie married in 1865. In the 18 71 census, James (36), confusingly entered as 'Thomas' Dunsire, a Reddsman, and Ann (29), lived at 36 Back Row, Methilhill, with David (11), James (9), Ann (5), Andrew (3), and William (1). There were Dunsire families (either husband or wife) all around them. At the 1901 census, James and his second wife, Ann Hastie, were living at 31 The Links, Buckhaven, with James (39, coalminer) from the first marriage, John (26, coal miner), and Ann Cairns (widow, 90), Ann's mother. The Statutory Register of Deaths confirms family information. William b.1869 died age 8 in 1878. On the death certificate of James's son Andrew in 1948, James is described as James Wilkie Dunsire, Colliery Manager (deceased). It is the first time a middle name for James has been seen, and the provenance is not clear, although a grandson of his (son of Thomas) was also given the name James Wilkie Dunsire (b.1908, d.1972).
