Just looking at your other thread re the marriage of William and Catherine.

There is a mention there of Petty Sessions records. If you have access to Ancestry, you can read what happened.
This index on FS
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QKSQ-TLR3?lang=en
refers to William (b 1899) and Edward Baird (b 1895) , the children of William, brother to Thomas.
It seems they were wandering with no means of support and were sent to an Industrial school.

Other records - censuses on F S show William and Ellen, the parents, living in USA in 1905 and 1910 and William’s death there as I mentioned earlier.

You may want to put this aside until you are going to spread sideways with your research or, of course, search those records out.

 ;D Thank you for this information. ;D

My mind is buzzing, its fantastic, also confusing, then again very exciting and frustrating as I'm a newbie, but i think I'm getting there.
I do have Ancestry but not everything which is not good, so i will have to sort that out.

Thank you Everyone, I'm bowled over with your support.

Love
Sam
