Baird Ayr.

[Glynn65]

Looking for the Death Certificate of John Baird, Born/Christened 22/08/1784 in Ayr, Scotland.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to find when or where he passed away! In 1861 John was living in Dundee, Angus, Scotland with his wife Helen, John Was 77.
John was the son of William Baird and Mary Gibson.
This is the John Baird I've located but he's not a match: BAIRD JOHN  72 GIBSON M 1877 474 / 2
BUCHANAN. The John I'm looking for would've been 93 in 1877.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Have you considered the John Baird, age 87, who died in 1871 in St Andrew, Dundee?

His wife, Helen McLean, died in the same district of Dundee in 1869.

" In 1861 John was living in Dundee, Angus, Scotland with his wife Helen, John Was 77."

When and where did wife Helen die?.  Where is Helen buried? 

On Helen's death certificate, who is the informant?  Is Helen recorded as wife or widow?

[Glynn65]

unsure where Helen Died, but Helen was born in Dundee on 26 Jan 1790

The 1871 census has John living in St Andrew Dundee with his daughter Jane.

According to the census, John was born in Hamilton, Lanarkshire, not Ayrshire.

Are you looking at the correct John and Helen?

Hi Neale,
Helen's maiden name was Watson if this helps?

Hi Neale,
Helen's maiden name was Watson if this helps?

Then, I think you might have been looking at the wrong census.

Mmm I think I maybe 🤔
Tough one, John was definitely born in Ayr … can anybody track him please.
