Irene unfortunately that is all I have.  It is from a website http://gordonhighlanders.carolynmorrisey.com/Baird.htm

I have the website owner's permission to use the photo and story for a book on Buchanhaven WW1.  I'm hoping to use the orginal and a restoration.

Bill, thank you very much.

I received this great photo of 4 generations of my ancestors this morning from a wonderful forum member here.

Is someone able to please repair/remove the lines? Thank you very much in advance, greatly appreciated.

If you are interested I have more information on the Charles Gordon Buchan and Agnes Buchan branch. Agnes Buchan decends from the "White" and "Uncle" Buchan's of St.Combs and Corskelly, Lonmay going back to the early 1600's.

How did you determine that George Reid born 1838 in Peterhead have parents James Reid and Elizabeth Cooper?  I notice FamilySearch IGI gives mother as Elizabeth Cooper whereas the orginal record, Peterhead OPR is as follows:

1838
Nov. 15th James Reid, labourer in Peterhead, had a son baptised, named George, before James Hutchison and George Gall.
