On and off for 5 years I have tried to find out what Thomas Maxwell TAIT did after leaving school and before joining the 5th Cameron Highlanders in 1914. Census, PO Directories, Archives at the Highlanders Museum, Fort George (very pleasant and helpful) all to no avail. He was a Highlands and Islands bursary scholar and I searched for him all over the country.
Decided to give up and look up the whereabouts of his younger sister Janey in 1911 before drawing a line . There she was at home with Mum and father Thomas plus brother TOM following his father into Gamekeeping. And I do know about wildcards
Clearly I'm not making great progress at this sleuthing game but it does give me hope regarding my remaining
