Hi looking for info on The Baird family - my Great Great grandmother Nancy Baird married Robert Caldwell in 1872 December (new row pres church, coleraine), was born 1852 and died in 1896. I cannot find any information if she had siblings or where her parents were. Any help would be appreciated. I have had a lot of help re the Caldwell side so I thank everyone. :)

Hello again!
From the Caldwell thread there's the marriage-
Robert Caldwell married Nancy Baird on 24 Dec 1872 in Terrace Row 3rd Presbyterian Church.
The actual marriage certificate should list important details such as her father's name and occupation as well as Nancy's residence at the time of the marriage.
-
no probs thanks for that - will do - happy new year
-
I'll probably get to Coleraine Library in mid-January once school holidays are over and can try to check the microfilm for the marriage if you haven't found the details by then.

Hi,
I note that there is a discrepency in the location of the marriage. My sources say Terrace Row Presbyterian Church and Jeni says New Row Presbyterian Church.

My Great Great Uncle married a Braid from the Coleraine area:-
William GUTHRIE, oldest son of Samuel & Margaret Guthrie [nee Wray]of North Ballinteer, married Martha BRAID, third daughter of John & Elizabeth Braid [nee Rankin] of Mullenhead on 1st June 1876 by the Rev. Dr. Wylie at Terrance Row Presbyterian Church, Coleraine, Co Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
In 1880 they emigrated to Canada and in 1881 moved to Wisconsin, USA. Along with William & Martha, were 4 children from Williams first marrage. His first wife, Sarah Anne died young at the age of 31 years.

Hi Sheephill,
Welcome to Rootschat. It may be a typo but the church in Coleraine is TERRACE Row Third Presbyterian Church.
Regards

Terrace Row is the more common name for Coleraine Third Presbterian Church.
Welcome to Rootschat, Sheephill. Is it Martha BRAID (as in your post) or BAIRD (as in this thread) you are looking for?
-
I'm looking to see if Nancy BAIRD who married Robert CALDWELL in 1872 at Coleraine, is from the same family as Martha BAIRD who married WIlliam GUTHRIE in 1876 at Coleraine
-
The marriage between Agness Baird & Robert Caldwell was registered in Coleraine 1872 Volume 16, page 595. (Agnes(s) is a common alternative for Nancy).
Martha Baird to Wm Guthrie was registered Coleraine 1876 Volume 6, page 529.
I cant see either marriage on the pay to view site I have access to, so you may need to order copies of the certs from GRO to get the fathers names, and their townlands (addresses).
