Thank you. I will go along with the name of Henry Leonard rather than Robert. The only information I had were pencilled in by my predecessor working on the tree.

And that book sounds like a wonderful find. Congradulations! If you are interested, I have several paragraphs of information on Isobel, copied from the back of an old record one of my cousins has.

Since your last note, I have done some browsing around to see if I could ferret out the names of Alexander Baillie's father and grandfather. I have found a tentative connection based on the naming of his sons and daughters, and his birthplace.

There is a John Baillie and Agnes Simpson who had a John Baillie born on 11 April, 1817 (Christened 27 April, 1817), Borthwick, Midlothian, Scotland. This John Baillie would likely be Alexander's father. I found this information on the LDS website.

And I keep forgetting! I have a website that I try to keep up to date on the family information. It is at:
