OOps got a bit confused with my previous posting. Mary Reid was born in 1829 and her parents were Mary or Marion Barclay and David Reid.
If anyone can offer any more info 0n those people that would be great

Have you seen the book "Monumental Inscriptions in Kinross-shire"?

The Kinross Museum could check it for you?

I am also descended from David Reid and Marion Barclay through James Reid and Margaret Crichton, via Jane Reid who was my gr gr grandmother.  I was born in the states and married a Canadian, so came back to  my roots where Jane was born, Jonathan.  Mick, I can't get back beyond David or Marion, either.

Hi,

I am descended from David Reid and Marion/Mary Barclay through eldest son William.  I have a detailed death certificate giving David's parents names as William Reid and Jean Paton.  Jean Paton is in the 1841 census in the household under David and Mary/Marion.  She is living with David & Mary/Marion's sons William and David.  William (eldest son of David & Mary/Marion) emigrated to Australia in 1849 with his wife and daughter.  I have a photo of him on my Ancestry website tree if you would like to have a look.  I would be interested in knowing what happened to the rest of his brothers and sisters.  I have tracked the few that stayed in Scotland but what happened to the rest?

Hi Liz.  I was so glad to read your post.  I had no idea that William Reid went to Australia.  I had found a William Reid who died in 1898 in Ontario.  I thought he was the brother of my James Reid ancestor.  I did look on your tree on ancestry.com and found so much info that I didn't have.  I have not posted my family tree because I am not sure how, but someone else has posted info under the White family tree that will give you info on James, who married Margaret Crichton.  James died in Northbrook Ontario, Canada on 6 Apr. 1897.  Margaret died just a couple of weeks before, 23 Mar 1897.  They had 9 children, only the last one, John, was born in Ontario.  The rest were born in Scotland.  All of their children did come to Canada, though.  I don't know about the rest of his brothers and their families, though, except from what you have on your family tree.  There are a few family trees on ancestry which contain this info.  The Forbes family tree is one. Hope this helps you to find James' family. :D

Thank you for your message, I have had a good look at ancestry.com to find James' family.  I have also heard from someone from Robert Reid's family (son of David & Marion/Mary) Robert stayed in Scotland.  I could send you a copy of David Reid's death certificate if you like.  My email address is *
I would like to hear from Mick from Oz to find out who Mary Reid (daughter of David & Marion/Mary) who did Mary marry?
