Hi Rebb
Welcome to RootsChat!
I can't see Alexander's birth details coming up on IGI, but I can see two brothers' birth details (it would appear the first Robert died and the name was used again for the following birth):
1. ROBERT BAILEY Birth: 31 MAY 1855 Penninghame, Wigtown, Scotland
2. ROBERT BAILLIE Birth: 19 JUL 1857 Penninghame, Wigtown, Scotland
You're in luck! Showing above is an 1855 birth cert. This was the first year of official registration in Scotland. For one year only, the BMD certs ran over two pages of the register and included a wealth of additional info. By 1856, the certs had been cut back to one page (still brilliant for info though!. The 1855 birth cert. should include the ages of parents/marriage dates/ how many children they had, alive & deceased etc.
BMD certs. are available to view on line at Scotlands People, the official pay to view site for Scottish records www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/.
Regards.
Monica

REBB, I've just realised you have this info already! It's the 1861 Census you're after! I haven't viewed the image, but from the search results in Penninhame, this looks like the BAILEY household. You will have to view to confirm:
John, 54
Margaret, 44
Peter, 17
James, 14
Alexander, 9
Elizabeth, 7
Robert, 3
GROS Ref: 895/00 009/00 003

We have the right family I think. From the 1881 Census, Alexander is showing birth place as Penninghame:
Alexander BALLIE, 28, Monumental Mason, b. Penninghame, Wigtown.
Helen K. BALLIE, 24, wife, b. Glasgow, Lanark
Mary H. BALLIE, 4, daughter, b. Penninghame, Wigtown
John, 2, son, b. Penninghame Wigtown
Robert A. BALLIE, 5 months, son, b. Penninghame, Wigtown
David MOFFAT, boarder, unmarried, 23, brewer's clerk, b. Sorn, Ayr
Address: Gertrude Cottage, Penninghame.

From IGI, this looks like a strong possibility for Alexander's father John's christening entry, an actual extract from the Old Parish Registers (OPRs):
JOHN BAILIE Christening: 22 DEC 1806 Penninghame, Wigtown, Scotland
Parents: Father: ALEXANDER BAILIE Mother: JEAN CLARK

A few death entries for you to follow up on Scotlands People:
1876 BAILLIE MARGARET/ AGNEW age 60 in PENNINGHAME /WIGTOWN GROS Ref: 895/00 0055
1875 BAILLIE JOHN age 68 in PENNINGHAME/WIGTOWN GROS Ref: 895/00 0031
and a possible for John's father:
1856 BAILLIE ALEXANDER/ MCKIE (mother's maiden name) age 76 in PENNINGHAME/WIGTOWN GROS Ref: 895/00 0023
There are 13 death entries in Penninghame between 1855-1955 for Bail*ey. I can see some of Alexander's siblings listed there.
Good luck!
Regards.
Monica
