Biography

Barbara was a child of Thomas Baillie's first marriage. Following the death of Janet Lambie, Thomas' second wife, in 1869, Barbara tended for her stepmother's three young children, Thomas, William and John, aged 7 years, 4 years and 9 months respectively. Three months after the death of Janet Lambie, Barbara married Alexander Todd but remained in the parental home at 31 Low Glencairn Street. At the time of the 1881 census the family had removed from 31 to 71 Low Glencairn Street and the number of Barbara`s dependants had increased. In addition to her father, her husband, her widowed brother Adam from her father's marriage with Barbara Oliphant, and half-brothers William and John of the second marriage, she now had five children of her own. She bore Alexander Todd a total of 11 children.
