===================

I haven't been able to find a reliable record on familysearch, of Alexander's birth, the only one being in 1860.

Try the best site for Scottish BMD data and Census data, scotlandspeople-

http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.ukhttp://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk
Credit/Debit card charge for online access; or use normal
mail etc.

To make progress, you should obtain at least Robert's Birth Certificate and the Parents' Marriage Certificate, as these will normally contain extra detail not available on the Web.

======================
There does not appear to be any associated Wills or Testaments on Scottishdocuments-

but as you obtain more details, re-try this site.

You should also try the Ellis Island site for records of any of the Baillies entering the USA-
