Other possible baptisms: 1. 30/8/1741 baptised BAYN John to Andrew Bayne and Cathrine Halay, Trinity Gask Parish

2. 30/8/1741 baptised BAYNE John to Andrew Bayne, Trinity Gask parish. (same as no. 1, transcription double up)

3. 15/08/1742 baptised BAYNE John to William Bayne, Trinity Gask Parish. Since their eldest son is called William, this is almost certainly the right choice.

4. 30/3/1742 baptised John Bayne to James Bayne and Helen Keillor at Muthill.

A claim on My Heritage site for him born Blackford, C1744, but no evidence available. It would suggest he was married at age 25 yrs, so perfectly reasonable. He was married in Blackford Parish, which supports this option, although normally marriages were in the bride's parish, and the Drysdales are a Blackford family. Also, more children for whom I have no evidence at present viz Lyllias, William, James (and Janet probably Jane).

MARRIAGE 1769, Blackford Parish: John Bayne and Jannet Drysdale both of this Parish (Blackford, Auchterarder), were proclaimed 26th Febry pro 1me, 5th March pro 2nd, 12th pro 3rd. Banns were proclaimed 3 times and if no onjections the marriage was performed, so they were married March 12th - or following Sunday. See documents

Other possible Bayne family members are: 1. John Bayne, baptised 21 March 1819, to Edward Bayne and Betty Davidson (Blackford). 2. John Bayne, baptised 25 November 1759 to John Bayne and Ann McLiesh (Blackford) 3. John Bayne, baptised 29 April 1781 to James Bayne and Helen Ritchie (Auchterarder Parish).

Also, 1. Janet Bayne, born Crieff, August 5 1778, to James Bayne and Mary McEwan. See documents and 2. Janet Bayne, bapt 5th October 1761, Muthill Parish, to John Bayne and Janet Gurner. See documents There are several Bayne families in this area. Hard to imagine they are not all related, especially since clans had not much broken down or dispersed at this time. Bonnie Prince Charlie was in Scotland in 1745, and the Jacobite Rebellion was only over in 1746. John was probably born during or shortly after the Rebellion, but, since they were Presbyterians, would not have been caught up in it when the English army went roaring through. The Baynes were a large and fairly affluent family. One of them was factor to the Lord Strathallan at Kinkell.

There seem to be no marriages survived for any of the children of this marriage, and there are dozens of Baynes all over the Strathearn area and beyond. Will need other resources to have any chance of making sense out of this family.
