Family #106.
David b.1859, a joiner, was in 1891 living at 37 Mid Street, Lochgelly with his wife Jessie (32) and children David (5), Andrew (3) and Annie (1). There is, however, no corresponding marriage listed in the STAT REG index, but the birth certificates of the fourth child, Agnes Hugh, 1894, and the fifth, Elizabeth, in 1896, gives the date of the marriage as 15 January 1885, in Methven. The young David (5) later married Mary Conway of Cowdenbeath and emigrated to Colorado.
In the 1901 census, David is missing and Jessie [42] is head. There is only one entry in the Statutory Register of Deaths index for a David born in 1859, died in Buckhaven in 1894; but this could not have been David the joiner of Lochgelly, given that his daughter Elizabeth was born in Kirkcaldy in 1896. There is in the 1901 household an Elizabeth [30], who is not easy to place: the only Elizabeth Dunsire born in 1870/71 is Elizabeth Brown Dunsire, daughter of John Dunsire and Janet Brown (#84], a quite distant connection except for the Auchterderran [Lochgelly] link. Elizabeth may therefore be the wife of a Dunsire, possibly David's brother James, about whom nothing is yet known, except a marriage in the Statutory Marriages Register Index of a James Dunsire to Elizabeth Reid in 1892. The marriage certificate confirms these guesses. As well as young David, Andrew and Annie, the household contains Agnes [8], David [7], Jessie [6], and Lizzie [4]. This second David and Lizzie may belong to Elizabeth rather than Jessie. [See under James b.1866.]

Notes:

According to the Statutory Register of Deaths Index, an Annie Dunsire age 62 died in 1926 in Windygates. Ann b.1864 is the only person in the database who corresponds, though no more is known.
It may be significant that both her assumed parents are buried in East Wemyss cemetery, though they lived in Lochgelly.

James Dunsire, age 26, 26 Mid Street, Lochgelly, Journeyman Tailor.
The marriage was conjectural, arising out of the 1901 census entry for the family of James' brother David [b.1859] in Auchterderran (Lochgelly), which shows a mystery 'Elizabeth, 30', and four children under ten - Agnes [8], David [7], Jessie [6] and Lizzie [4]. Agnes, Jessie and Lizzie were David's; the second David [7] [there already was a David age 15] indicates a different family, probably headed by Elizabeth. In the Statutory Register there is a marriage in 1892 between James Dunsire and Elizabeth Reid, which although it took place in Kingsbarns (rather far from Lochgelly) otherwise fits the known facts; the marriage certificate confirms the guess. One of the witnesses was David Penman, probably brother of his sister's husband William Penman. Also in the Statutory Registers is the death of a James Dunsire in St Giles, Edinburgh in 1898, age 36. This death would explain why the household in Lochgelly did not include James in the 1901 census, but not why it did not include David.
