Here's a possible for Agnes but only a possible - I think it is quite possible that he was illegitimate but if his birth wasn't registered , a marriage cert or death cert would give more info.


1901

Butter Hole, Carluke
Reg Dist 629 ED 7 Household no. 2

James Struthers, 59, farmer
Mary, 60
Andrew, 25
James, 19
Agnes Wilson, servant,15,  Servant general, b.Stirlingshire

Hi Allan

No Alexander Bairds in  Carluke in 1901  :-\


There's only one possible death in Scotland for an Alexander Baird, mother's name Wilson - 1991, aged 84, in Stirling. If your friend wants to explore that cert and get details of the parents, she could order it from the Scotlands people site, web address given above message#1.

This might not be him but it's the only one where the details match.


Regards

Below is the actual info i got, maybe its clearer to you


He was Alexander Baird born 18th May 1906, on a farm in Carluke, Lanarkshire....his parents were Alexander Baird and Agnes Wilson, the farm was too far out for them to go register him, it seems..... his father died when he was young and his mother re-married and was now known as Agnes Tait, (which is on my grandfathers marriage cert) he was, it seems, raised by his step brothers called David and James Tait...ages unknown.... hope this helps

I'll check up on a Wilson/Tait marriage.

I've found a possible Alex Baird, Harestanes, Carluke on the 1901 index but it is so bad, I'll have to track down the original image.

There's a marriage for an Agnes Gledhill Wilson and an Angus Mcallum Tait, 1920, St Giles, Edinburgh.

It's the only Agnes Wilson/Tait marriage post 1906.

Not too sure about it - she's only 26 which would make her 10 when Alexander was born - maybe she was older than Angus (27)  and disguised the fact  :-\

This is the most likely Alexander Baird in carluke on the 1901:


Harestanes, Carluke
Reg D 629 ED 6 Page 11/12

Jno Baird, 42, ?burner
Margt, 44, b. Ireland
And(?rew), 15, fireman
Enid, 13, at home,
Alex, 12, scholar,

all except Margaret b. Lks , Cadder


That's about all that I can find. It might be them. It might not.  I think the marriage cert of Alexander jnr, should give a father's occupation which might help.
