Henry Reid, Crobane (died 1895); Son David Reid, Newry (died 1947)
« on: Friday 28 February 14 01:09 GMT (UK) »
Spoke with a descendant of Henry Reid who died in Crobane in 1895.  He may be buried near or in Old Meeting House, Riverside Reformed Presbyterian Church, Newry.   He was married to Eliza Jane McMahon.

Henry's son, David, who died in 1947, may be buried in Newry, either Church Street Meeting House or Old Meeting House High Street. 

Where are Henry and his wife buried?  What about David and his wife?  I am from the US and admit complete ignorance.  Thank you!
