Notes
Baptismal record for David DOB as 1 Mar 1864, parents John Laird and Jane (no surname) and place of birth at Greenhills, Raphoe which ties in with John’s address on his marriage cert to Jane Reid and the address on his death cert in 1864. John’s occupation is given as Coachman
Birth cert for Fanny Laird gives DOB as 01 April 1864, parents John Laird Jane Reid; John’s occupation is again given as coachman but address given as Magheryee, Castlefinn. Greenhills is in Magherahee district
Seems unlikely for two John Lairds to both be a coachman and both be married to a woman called Jane, both in same general area so I think these are probably twins with bit of a mix-up in dates.
Have not been able to find any further records for these children.
