According to the Puslinch Historical Society Website, the Tait and Ord farms were originally situated adjacent to each other, so Leonard Tait and Jane Ord lived next door to Jane's father, Robert Ord.

Leonard Tait and a Robert Ord (presumably Jane's brother, not her father) both served together in the #2 Company, 2nd Battalion, Wellington Militia in 1857.

Leonard Tait and Robert Ord Sr. were both blacksmiths. By their age difference one would presume that Leonard was apprenticing with his father-in-law. If so, it is most likely that, although he was born in England, he had moved to Berwickshire, Scotland.

By 1871 the family had migrated to Hamilton.
