I did a bit of digging and found that Baillie Robert Cranston was born in about 1815 and died in 1892. So it's possible - especially considering the family names - that Baillie is James' (1815) brother btw this is what i have: 1 James Cranston (1815) m Agnes Hutchison (1818-1892) <--my 3x g-g-aunt 2a James Cranston (abt 1840) 2b Robert (abt 1855) 3a James (1872-1919) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
