Hi Katey--My Reids were from Scotland and originally settled in Almont, Lapeer County, Michigan. There was a large group of Scottish immigrants in that area in the mid-1800's. How about your Reids?

Sorry Katey. I don't have Reid on my tree. Just Reed and Read.

thanks katey will do that and will let you know how i go
kind regards Vicki Dunlop

Katey..If I had just looked a little further I would have known where you were looking for your REIDS. I'm looking for a John D. REED/REID but in the state of Iowa. My gg-grandmother married him and they had a child in Des Moines Co...Burlington. After that he just disappeared or I'm not looking in the right place. I wish you luck in your search....Donna

I found them at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk . You can set up an account and search all of the registrations in Scotland as well as wills and census. Good hunting.

Hi Katey
Found the marriage of Thomas Reid and AnnFerrier or Ferry in Dundee. They were both listed as of 61 Wilkes Lane Dundee. Ann Was born 29 Sept 1870 in Dundee, her parents were Edward Ferrier (Ferry) and Ann Ferrier nee Smith who were both born in Ireland. The Ferriers, both jute mill workers, had 4 other children in 1881 Hellen or Nelly age 19, James 8 Eliz 3 and Mary 4mo. The 1871 census shows them as Ferry ( this may be a census taker hearing the surname wrong when spoken in an Irish accent.
Thomas Reid's parents were Joseph Reid, weaver and Rachel Reid nee Nicoll he was age 20 at his marriage.
Hope this helps Betty

Hi Katey, Would love to find out about my family tree. My Grandfather was from Edinburgh Scotland, and my Grandmother from Dublin Ireland. Think they were married in Edinburgh. Regards, Beverley
