His arrival in canada in 1922:

Border Crossings: From Canada to U.S., 1895-1956
about Baird Hay Name: Baird Hay
Arrival Date: 29 Oct 1922
Port of Arrival: St Albans, Vermont, United States
Ship Name: Tunisian
Port of Departure: Glasgow, Scotland
Age: 34
Birth Date: abt 1888
Birth Country: Scotland
Gender: Male
Race/Nationality: Scottish (Scotish)
Record Type: Manifests


His destination was Diamondville, Wyoming. Nearest relative at home was wife Mrs. Baird Hay (Rebecca), 8 Crawford St., Lambhill, Glasgow. He was going to join relative Mrs J. (can't make out name), Diamondville, Wyoming. I think it says uncle in brackets?

Baird Hay was probably the son of John Hay and Elizabeth Vicars who married in Renfrew, Renfrewshire in 1883, which concurs with the 1891 & 1901 census posted by Astra
There are births for 2 children called Baird Hay, both in 1888 but only one birth was registered in Renfrew, Renfrewshire ( possibly the same child registered in two different districts)
