Greetings from Australia!
I am trying to identify any siblings of Henry Reed, who was born in Whitehaven about 1845. His parents were Ann Graham and James Reed. James was born circa 1805 and Ann circa 1803. Both parents were born in Whitehaven. They married in 1833 at the Holy Trinity Church in Whitehaven. Hopefully the censuses will pick up some names.
Also of interest would be the employment of the family members and where they lived if that information is available.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello and thank you for replying to my post.
.
As a child I can remember seeing Reed spelt as Reid occassionally, but the spelling was generally acknowledged as Reed by the family. The BDM certificates that I have confirm that. I do agree it is a name that can have a variety of spellings and this does make it difficult.
I was hoping that because they seemed to come from a specified area in Cumberland it might be help. Their marriage was in Whitehaven and so was both their parents. Ann's parents were William Graham and Ann Hallifax and they married at St Nicholas Church, Whitehaven in 1799. William was born in 1771.
.
Apparently James was born in 1805, son of John Reed and Mary ?. James appears in the 1881 census aged 75 married to Elizabeth, thirty years his younger.
This information has come to me in an email from a lady in Vancouver.
And that's all I have to go on. Can you tell me what denomination this church is please?
As I live in a remote, rural community in Australia, access to the records you speak of would be difficult. We don't even have a permanent library in the town...once a week a bookmobile visits for about 6 hours to give our community regular access to borrowing books!

I have linked to a transcription of part of the 1851 census on the main Cumberland board. Anyway, here is the link
http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/3121/
It has

John REED (father, wid) 77 Retired cabinet maker, Whitehaven

There are other REEDs in the district.

Whitehaven shipping list
http://www.stevebulman.f9.co.uk/cumbria/whitehaven_shipping.html
"Hannah" Brig Built-Dublin Master-Joseph Gregory Owner-James Reed & others
A whole page on the ship Hannah here
http://www.mightyseas.co.uk/marhist/whitehaven/built_elsewhere/hannah.htm
"The New York Times", 26th April 1854, page 4.
HALIFAX, Tuesday, April 26.- The Royal Mail steamship Arabia, Capt.Judkins, from Liverpool, on Saturday, the 15th instant, arrived here at 1 o'clock this morning..... the Arabia reports : April 19, 6 P.M., lat.49 deg. lon.32 deg., saw a brig with signals of distress flying. Bore down to her and found her to be the Hannah, of Whitehaven, in a sinking condition. Took off her crew, together with the crew of the brig Helena, of Liverpool - twenty-three persons in all, ten of whom were sick. The crew of the Helena (which foundered in lat.51 deg. lon.51 deg.) had been taken off by the Hannah."
This would appear to have occurred in mid-Atlantic.
