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.
