Hello, Mike-- I didn't know it myself till this morning. Unfortunately, I don't have direct access to the 1890 census, though there is a Richard O. Baird in the 1900 census: BAIRD RICHARD O 34 M W ENGL IL FULTON ASTORIA TWP 1900 Fulton Cty is just east of McDonough. Might this guy be your Richard and Isabella's son, or another relative? Richard and his wife, Elizabeth, both born in 1866 (she in Scotland) migrated to the U.S. in 1871, and a son, Earle, age 8, is also listed. Surprisingly, Richard's occupation is "Artist." He's also listed in the 1910 and 1920 censuses. Heck, you probably know all this already. Say hello to the missus. Best wishes, Tim P.S. If you try a search on Ancestry.com for the 1890 census, you'll see that some other counties' records survived, e.g., Perry, but no cigar on Richard. -----Original Message----- From: Temple [mailto:jmtemple@telefonica.net] Sent: Saturday, April 23, 2005 9:12 AM To: ILLASALL-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ILLASALLE] ROBINSON Delos and the 1890 Special Civil War Pensioners Tim, could you do a look up for me on the 1890 McDonough census at (probably) Colchester. I'm looking to see if ancestors were there, should be Richard Oswald BAIRD and his wife Isabella TEMPLE BAIRD (my G.G/fathers sister) and their children. They emigrated to America sometime after the end of the civil war, about 1870 I think, and ended up at Colchester, where they owned coal and clay mines. I didn't realise that some of the 1890 census had survived, I had thought it all destroyed in a fire. Mike Temple, Spain.
Tim, yes he is one of Richard Oswald Baird and Isabella's Temple Baird's sons. Richard Oswald jnr. started Baird photographic studio at Astoria, I have some old family photos in my possession that were sent by him back to his Grandparents in England. So I guess that's why he describes himself as an Artist.
