You need to check for the marriage on Scotland's People:

Hi Allan

I've been looking around but so far I've not found anything promising. Do you have any more details at all of Alexander's birthplace, apart from a farm in Lanark?

Also, do you have a death/marriage for him in Scotland?

A search at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk  brings up no marriage for the couple - scotlandwide between 1855 and 1932.


There are 6 Alexander Bairds born in Sciotland in 1906 - the only one born in Lanark is


1906 BAIRD ALEXANDER M GOVAN GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 646/02 0895

i was told that Alexander Baird born 18th may 1906 at Carluke farm Nr Lanarkshire was not registered because the family lived to far away from the Registration place.

If the parents weren't actually married he could have been registered under his mother's maiden name Wilson.
Think you first might need to find 'Carluke farm.' There is a place called Carluke in Lanarkshire.

I've checked all these variations out earlier - including Nancy. I'll do some more checking around the Carluke area. On the 1901, there are a few Agnes Wilsons as farm servants. Any of these could be her or might not.

Allan, how did you come by this information, please? Any info on a amarriage/death or his later life might help.
