Hi, Looking for Herd/Hird/Hurd in Kincardinshire of the Mearns At Banchory-Devenick there's a John HIRD d. 1882 age 81 (#223) no William included........... Genbervie (#184) there's a John Murray, wife Christine HERD d.1938 age 86............. Kinneff & Catterline a Gilbert HERD mentioned in 'Notes' Marykirk #2 A Margaret Herd spouse to John Gleg d 1774 age 65 #112 Another Margaret Herd d. 1763 age 50 spouse Jas Strahan #112a A John Herd d 1751 age 60 - this goes on to say he married Margaret Low in 1730 and had a son David in 1732 who died 1810 I'm sorry but this is all listed in my book but for what it's worth.
