Hi Paula, Have you tried the Scots Origins website free IGI search. I took a quick look and turned up 12 John Baillies (various spellings) in Midlothian born / baptised between 1827 and 1845.

I've been working at my genealogy for about 8 years now. I do have one John Baillie who is my brick wall. > > According to Columbiana County, Ohio, US census for 1860 and 1870, for the age recorded, he would have been born in 1832. The Census for 1880 has him being born in 1830. > > His Ohio Volunteer Infantry paperwork says he was born in Edinburgh, Scotland and that he was 34 on Sept 10, 1861 (born 1827). It also states he was 5 ft 7 1/2 in tall, had fair complexion, grey eyes, brown hair and by occupation was a machinist. > > I have not found him in US census for Ohio or the surrounding states for the year 1850, however I do know he was married Aug 21, 1857 in Salem, Ohio, USA. He died in Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Aug 21, 1893, before it was a state so there is no death record to give me and exact birth date. The obituary states he was 67 years old, which would make him born in 1826. > > I do not know if he had siblings or what his parents names were. I have not found any immigration records for him. As you can see I have documents that state he could have been born any time between about 1826 and 1832. > > Does anyone have any idea how I might continue this search? > > Paula Baillie in Pennsylvania, USA > > > > Content-Type: text/plain > > > > MIDLOTHIAN-D Digest Volume 04 : Issue 516 > > > > Today's Topics: > > #1 Re: [MLN] Treatise of Scots parish ["Gwenda Oxley" <goxley@vtown.com.a] > > #2 Re: Treatise of Scots parishes and [Jean Campbell <jeancampbell@optusn] > > > > Administrivia: > > To unsubscribe from MIDLOTHIAN-D, send a message to > > > > MIDLOTHIAN-D-request@rootsweb.com > > > > that contains in the body of the message the command > > > > UNSUBSCRIBE > > > > and no other text.
