Robert Baird was born about 1831 kirkcudbrightshire mother was Jane not sure of surname. Robert arrived in New Zealand port chalmers Dunedin in 1862 on the ship Scoresby. He married Margaret Barr?? 23/7/1862 Delbeattie in Scotland she died in NZ during child birth (five rivers). He then married margaret McMinn from same area in Scotland but they married at limestone plains. Children from first married James,Robert,(Margaret adopted to Galbraith),William. I have found a possible match residing at Barbershall, Parton but am really after some confirmation. Initially it was believed he married a margaret Brass but I can not find evidence of this. On his death certificate it appears as Barr??. Robert died in Nz in 1911 isla bank southland. Family were farmers from Kircudbrightshire any help or confimation would be appreciated.
