  They had struggled in their years in Scotland, we think that they went back to Ireland as they were possibly left with the responsability of raising a grandchild Mary Kenny, who wasn't eligible for Parish Relief in Glasgow as she had been born (1866) to their daughter when she was in Tipperaray with her soldier husband.    And what happened to the grandchild Mary Kenny? 
...

Could you give us some more details about the parents of Mary Kenny so we can look for her. (if you want us too)

I'm always a sucker for looking up Saints.

I'm glad I did as it has links to the name Kilmarnock. And as a joke with a cousin's husband, years ago my partner started following Kilmarnock FC, now he looks every weekend at the results!

OP you may like to contact the moderators and ask that your three threads are merged. 

It is annoying to those of us to who try to help others to find that the information we have found may already have been found but on another thread that has been started. 

A bit of advice is to use the one thread for the one family.  If another particular  thread is needed but (loosely) concerning the same family then it is great it you could put a link up on both threads.

Also explain the link as:
'I have asked for the BDM details  for the Gt Aunt of one of the sons in law of the original Baird family here'

then place the link

That signals that it is not a close link to the Baird family.  What my Irish family calls 'connections'.

Thanks Sue.
I've just realised that when the ships master enters his passengers names theyre not always first name last name but be could the reverse and then the first name might be entered as an intial anyway. So lots more ferreting around to confirm the arrival date of Abraham and his family.

And as we say.......'hours of fun' with the ferreting, byways, rabbit holes........ :)
