In 1841 the census for High Street Haddington recorded Elener Tait [sic], born outside the county, and aged in the 30 years age range. Her husband, a hairdresser, was also recorded, as were, what seems to be, her seven children.

'Edna Haimes' was recorded by the 1851 census for Haddington living with her husband George and six children ranging in age from 9 to 22 years. She was recorded as 42 years of age and had been born in Gladsmuir East Lothian.

The 1861 census for Haddington recorded Elinor Haimes as 57 years of age, older than her husband. Her birthplace was Gladsmuir East Lothian.

In her death certificate of 1869 it was recorded that Eleanor was 'married to George Haimes', that is to say that she predeceased her husband. Her age was recorded as 65 years. Both of her parents were then dead. ^{2 6}

  Medical Notes:

Eleanor was not seen by any medical attendant.

George Haimes, her husband, gave notice of her death before Thomas Kemp, the registrar at Haddington, on 19th April 1869.

Helen married George HAIMES Hairdresser, DNA Linked, son of George HAIMES Shoemaker, DNA Linked and Isabell MOWAT (DNA Linked), after 18 May 1828 in Gladsmuir parish, East Lothian, Scotland.¹ (George HAIMES Hairdresser, DNA Linked was born about 1806 in Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland ^{2 6} and died on 17 August 1883 in 24 Newton Park, Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland.).
