We need hard facts around the early 1900s to connect a Mary Baillie to the births of a Jessie and James Baillie around that time.

I am always hard about verification in all research  otherwise it is all speculation. We all know how we can lose a life on spec....

The big hard fact we have, Myra, is the birth address for your grandfather James and his sister Jessie, 15 Rumford Street Bridgeton.

I love the fact that your Mum is adding info with what details you and your sister are finding.

From what we have talked about...Father John Baillie and mother Ann Morrison, census details that I can see from 1881 to 1901 (marriage here to view on SP https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XTBP-M6N to help you work back to John and Ann's parents)...feel we now have found the main key piece of data to firm up at this time. Ann Morrison/Baillie's death in 1920 in Bridgeton. Her son John was the informant to her death.  Her address for her death looks to be the key (thank you Annie  )

In 1905 the tenant of 15 Rumford Street was Jessie Boyle

1905 Tenant Occupier MRS BOYLE JESSIE at  HOUSE 15 RUMFORD STREET - GLASGOW

That is Jessie indeed, daughter of Ann and John, sister to Mary.

Sancti you know me well with this type of search, have to confess, Myra knows, I have obsessed today with her Baillies and connected lines

Can't see an obvious record for Mary on 1911 census

[MonicaL]

Haven't found that either, Sancti 

Her sister Jane married a Bernard Donnelly in 1897. Jane shows with him and two young children in 1901 also at 15 Rumford Street.

Think Mary may not have married, having dotted and crossed and all that stuff!

Possible death for her in 1966. Have a request for help here for this www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=725290.0

We have everyone else in her family. Two sisters, brother (and their families) and parents' deaths & marriages for all we think etc. Possible descendants too and photos/trees etc.

Just the main central person we need now to confirm I think...Mary

Hi Guys,
I have a Mary Baillie from the 1911 census. She is 29( age is right I think) ( 3 years after having my GF James  1908) in a boarding house ( lodging house they call it) a Cotton Weaver ( Loom weaver on my Grandfather's BC) Birthplace Lanark Glasgow. She is in Perthshire now. Most of the people on this record are from Perthshire or Dundee so the Glasgow shone out to me. Could this be her??

[MonicaL]

Certainly could be.... Looked at some of the Glasgow ones for 1911 and none were her...
