constance ME Baillie
« on: Wednesday 10 January 18 00:41 GMT (UK) »
My relation Alfred Foot from Up Cerne in dorset, worked in the 1890's at Clamis Castle as a coachman. Constance Baillie was the governess or similar. I understand she came from an aristocratic family. She was due to marry well but was jilted and on the rebound married Alfred in Chelsea, London in 1900. Her family dis-inherited her.
I am struggling to find her birth and her family details and any help would be fantastic.

Very many thanks for any help.

Mark

Very many thanks but I wonder if this is the correct person as I have her name as Constance Marguerite E Baillie and as she married in 1900 and went on to have children, I asume she was have been born around 1875. Very many thanks.

Read it all again. 1874 is 'about 1875' and it was her mother who was Constance Marguerite Gardner.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

This is the daughter of John Baillie and Constance Marguerite Gardiner if you invest in some credits on www.scotlandspeople you can download the birth certificate for Constance M E Baillie born 1874 which will confirm the date of marriage for parents and names

Her marriage cert 2 May 1900 also states father was a Sheriffs Officer - which matches with Rosie's transcription in 1901
