About John Baird

JOHN BAIRD

The Question of Identity

John Baird, here treated, is not the son of William Baird and his wife Janet Smith This couple did have a son named John Baird whose baptism was registered on 9 January 1709, at Govan in Lanarkshire, Scotland, but he cannot possibly be the man of the same name who is treated here. After all he would only have been 6 years of age when his older namesake was booked to marry Jean Lyle on 7 April 1715
