I have an interest in the Baird /Green family. You say John Baird went back to the north east but I was told by my family that he went from St Ives to the south coast of England for work and was killed in a horse and buggy accident. However I haven't been able to find any evidence of that. John Baird was from the Clydebank area of Glasgow, so I would have though he would not have returned to the north east anyway, but that's just my thoughts. best wishes, Ian

Northumberland Lookup Requests / Re: Baird

I had a great great grandfather John Baird from Glasgow who married a Jane Green of Cowpen, Blyth, Northumberland. John Baird was a carpenter who moved to St Ives, Cornwall to work on a new pier construction and took his family with him. John Baird later moved away for another job but was killed. Jane Baird stayed in St Ives and somehow the name Baird was changed to Beard.

They had a daughter Eliza Baird (aka Beard) who was my maternal grandmother's mother. She married a tin miner called Tobias Uren of Lelant (near St Ives). My grandmother was called Eliza Jane Uren had a sister Nellie plus several other sisters
