Hi Gordon,

The daughter born 30 Aug 1852 is probably Elizabeth Charlotte AIRD whose death certificate you have (the one who died in Stranraer in 1855 aged 2)?

What were the birthplaces of Mary AIRD (born ca 1835) and William AIRD (born ca 1837) - children presumed to be from a previous marriage of John AIRD.  I think you have them in the 1851 census.  And did either of them have an occupation?  Perhaps trying to find them in the 1861 census (especially William as Mary might have married and be under a different name by then) would be a good next step ...

Regards,

JAP

Hi Gordon,
Hope you get replies, I think they are both descended from John Aird and Charlotte McCord's children. Did you check out that site ? Beverley's posting was from April 2003, I don't know the date of the other one.
