JOHN LAIRD
I am researching my family and have got stuck at my g-g-g-granfather JOHN LAIRD.I know he married MARY HOLM(ES)in June, 1814.Their Banns were read in Houston, Renfrewshire on 12 June, 1814.They had three children:CATHARINE LANG LAIRD who was born on 5 August, 1815 in Erskine, Renfrewshire; JOHN LAIRD born on 7 October, 1818 in Erskine, Renfrewshire; and GEORGE LAIRD (my g-g-grandfather)born on 12 March, 1821 also in Erksine.JOHN LAIRD we know was a farmer from the marriage certificate of GEORGE LAIRD.GOERGE LAIRD married MARGARET DONALD on 6 October, 1857 in Bridgeton, Glasgow, Lanarkshire under the Free Church.JOHN LAIRD was already dead by the date of his son's wedding.If anyone has any information on where JOHN LAIRD came from I would be very grateful.Graeme Laird
