That 1860 death was for the SON of James Baird, Ironstone Miner and Mary, nee Gillespie. Age 1 yr 8 months
Date September 23rd - father present
So, no further forward with James's birth year or parents
Can't think why I suggested it might be James snr...................simply not possible, unless Mary was having children with someone else!
|
Wow thank you! so much information
|
A tree on Ancestry says May's parents were Charles Gillespie and Elizabeth McGowan. So this is probably her family in 1841:
Mary Gillespie in the 1841 Scotland Census Name: Mary Gillespie Age: 5 Estimated birth year: abt 1836 Gender: Female Where born: Lanarkshire, Scotland Civil Parish: Cambuslang County: Lanarkshire Address: Bushy Hill Parish Number: 627 Household Members: Name Age Charles Gillespie 30 - Ireland Elizabeth Gillespie 25 - Ireland Margaret Gillespie 9 - Lanarkshire Mary Gillespie 5 - Lanarkshire Cathrine Gillespie 2 - Lanarkshire Elizabeth Abuickle 25 Margrit Abuickle 25 Thomas Steven 1
(I suspect the Arbuckles and Thomas Steven are a different household.)

The marriage pre-dates civil registration in Scotland, which means there is no information on the record about ages or fathers.
You need to find them after 1852 to find out when they were born
|
Can't see any sign of the family on censuses after the marriage, which is odd, as they were having children in Lanarkshire after 1861
