Parish Registers - Martin/Baird
« on: Friday 22 June 07 19:11 BST (UK) »
I am looking for information on the Birth and/or Marriage
of Thomas Martin and Janet Baird about 1830 in Kirkintilloch.  So far as I know Thomas was born about 1795
in Kirkintilloch, Son of William Martin and Helen Wilson.
Janet was born about 1811 in Old Monkland, Lanarkshire,
Daughter of John Baird and Janet Cleland.
Any information regarding this family would be most
appreciated.  I have Thomas and Janet on the 1851 Census
living in Glasgow (High Church) with nine (9) Sons and a
John Baird 27 Brother of Janet.  All children of Thomas and
Janet were born in Old Monkland.

I looked through the OPRs yesterday evening.

Thomas was born on 26th March 1795 and baptized on 29th.

Janet was born and baptized on 27th January 1811. Her father was a farmer.

There is a large gap in the marriage records for Kirkintilloch; there is nothing around 1830. Are you certain they married there?

The reocrds for Old Monkland are complete, but I could not find a Martin/Baird marriage.

Justin,
Thanks for your help.  No, I am not positive that they
were married in Kirkintilloch.  I am basing that on the fact
that they had nine Sons born in that town from 1830
until 1848.  Only their last child George was born in Glasgow on 21 May 1851 shortly after the 1851 Census
on which the whole family apprears in Glasgow.  So I must
assume they moved some time between 1848-1850.
This is new territory for me, so I must confess that I am
working in the dark for the most part.  I appreciate your
effort and can only conclude that if records are missing I
am out of luck.  It would seem more likely that they would
be married in Old Monkland, birthplace of Janet Baird, but
is by no means a certainty.
