Sorry Elaine

Jack Baird married into my family and I have not researched his lineage at
all. I was hoping (no pun intended) you would be able to help me.

Hello Jane,

Did you ever hear a connection with the Hope family?

I have a Florence Hope, born around 1900 and somehow connected with the
REED family of Iveston.

It has been said that she had a brother called BAIRD, that she might
have come from family in Alnwick or she might have been the daughter of
one of the Reed sisters. To date, I have not been able to establish
any theory although there was a Baird family in Iveston around that
time. The mother of the Reed family was a GRAHAM from Hexham so
Florence might have originated there.

She is spoken of with much affection and I should like to find
how she fits into our family tree.

Does a Hope connection match with your research anywhere please.

Yours,

Elaine Saunders
