Hi forfarian, I have no proof, only it came up on ancestry DNA, I have also seen names on somebody else’s tree! Obviously 🙄 these aren’t to be trusted, I normally go back through the census, birth, marriage and death certificates, but John has been very challenging, maybe because I’m barking up the wrong tree 🌳 So you think Archibald and Agnes are the way to go?

Yes, I've been looking at the 1851 and 1861 Census and agree The Dalfield Walk family in Dundee are not the right ones. Thanks for the correction, Dundee and Neale. I also have John Baird married Helen Watson in my records in 1817 in Glasgow, Thanks for pointing that out too Neale, I'm now wondering if I've been on the wrong track again, John Baird and Helen Watson have been the hardest people for me to track down, so far.
