Euphemia / Euphemie ANDERSON / BAILLIE

[cherylai9]

Hi, I am looking for information on a specific branch of the Baillies.

I have a Euphemie / Euphemia Anderson born circa 1872 who married John Baillie. They had a daughter called Euphemia Smith Baillie who is a direct ancestor of mine. I can't find much information on this relation other than what I have below.

Euphemia Smith Baillie b. circa 1889 in Lanarkshire?

She married a Thomas McGraw on 13 Sep 1908 in Glasgow and they had a son. She left her husband or he died and she had 2 children with my great grandfather Thomas Baird Mackie.

I don't have a date of death for Euphemia. I know that she died when my Grandfather was young so sometime after 1930, possibly before 1940.

Does anyone share this ancestor?

Hi, thanks for that. I have been on ScotlandsPeople today and was searching. I had assumed she had divorced so didn't search fro McGraw.

Thanks for the tip!

I've looked at the National Archives(or Records) of Scotland website and can't see any divorce.

Hi All 

Euphemia Smith Baillie born before John Baillie married Euphemia Anderson in 1890? Possible mother showing as Sarah James who married John Baillie in 1884.  cherylai9, I think you have already seen this info from a/try trees. You also have this data on your own a/try tree.

The possible marriage of John Baillie to a Euphemia Anderson shows on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk in Glasgow in 1890. This is available to view online on SP. This should show whether John Baillie was a widower at the time of his marriage to Euphemia in 1890. You have the 1884 marriage for John Baillie to Sarah James in 1884 in Glasgow. Parents' details on both marriage certs will let you confirm that it is the same John.

I think from what I have seen that it was John's mother who is the likely source of Euphemia Smith Baillie's name (his mother is showing as Euphemia Smith).

Euphemia Anderson (if I have the right entry) is showing as born c. 1877 on the 1901 census:

John Baillie 27 Boilermaker
Euphemia Baillie 24
Janet Baillie 9
John Baillie 7
Allan Baillie 5
James Baillie 3
Thomas Baillie 5 Months

Address: 47 Ardenlea St, Bridgeton Glasgow

Can't easily see young Euphemia in 1891 or 1901

On the family trees already mentioned, Euphemia Smith Baillie is showing as having married a Thomas McGraw, a fish saleman, in 1909. Euphemia is down as the daughter of a John Baillie, a coal miner, and Sarah James, both still alive at the time of marriage. A copy of her marriage and death cert are included for references, both with the same details. At the time of her death in 1941, she was living at Norfolk Street in the Gorbals and her son Thomas Baillie reported her death.

cherylai9, how have you connected Euphemia Anderson as mother to Euphemia Smith Baillie?

Have you tried finding her on the censuses for 1891-1911?

I am going to guess this is her with family, parents John and Sarah:

John Baillie 41 Coal Miner Hewer b. Lasswade, Loanhead
Sarah Baillie 37 b. Slamannan, stirlingshire
George Baillie 16
Robert Baillie 14
Sarah Baillie 12
Euphemia Baillie 10 b. N Monkland, Lanarks
John Baillie 1
William Baillie 5
Peter Baillie 2

Address: Drumshangie Row Whiterigg, New Monkland, Lanarkshire

The family also show at Drumshangie in 1891, without Euphemia so maybe she was born after the census?

Euphemia Anderson was a wrong connection, I had the wrong John Baillie as Euphemia's father.

I too downloaded the birth cert today and found Euphemia as having John Baillie and Sarah James as the parents.

I also have her grandparents now as George Baillie and Euphemia Smith, though they don't appear to have married or at least not in Scotland.

Thank you so much for looking into this, I got led astray by John Baillie and Euphemia Anderson and assumed with the name matches that they were her parents.
