Alexander Wallace Baillie of Tain ^{1 2}

   Another name for Alexander was Baillie Alexander Wallace of Tain.

  Research Notes:

Baillie Wallace's parents could use further verification. The record of his christening transcribed at https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/X1D8-Z4K gives his father's name as "Lachland Wallace." The parish record has "Wallace & Grant" but does not give the mother's name. "Grant" could have been entered in error.

The Lack Family tree at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=alastair&id=I952 has John Wallace of Nonikiln and Catherine Munro as his parents. However, this is incorrect, as their son Alexander was born on 8 March 1826, 13 years later.

  Christening Notes:

Baptismal record, as recorded in the Rosskeen parish, reads "Wallace & Grant [:] Alex. lawfull son to Lachland Wallace BadCall was then Born and Babtised the 23rd Apr 1813"
