Banffshire / James Reid & Isabel Taylor's parents & missing children's births in Grange
« on: Saturday 17 February 18 04:05 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for the births of 2 other children and the parents of James Reid and Isobel Taylor.
Circa 1787, James Reid born in Scotland
What I know from the OPR:
2 June 1808, James Reid married Isobel Taylor in Grange, Banffshire, Scotland
25 March 1811, Ann Reid christened to James Reid and Isobel Taylor in Bracobrae, Grange, Banffshire, Scotland. Witnesses: George Murray and James Riddock[h]
18 Nov 1812, Isobel Reid christened to James Reid and Isobel Taylor in Bracobrae, Grange, Banffshire, Scotland. Witnesses William Gordon and James Allan.
Canadian Records show:
1815, James Reid, age 28, married with 4 children emigrate from “Great Britain” (Scotland)
1816, James Reid residing at Mt. Thom, Pictou County, Nova Scotia, Canada, a labourer, poor but industrious
I would like to find the other 2 children of James Reid and Isobel Taylor as well as James and Isobel's parents. Any resources regarding Bracobrae would be appreciated. I am visiting Scotland for the first time in August 2018 and plan on visiting Bracobrae. Was there just one Church in the Parish of Grange in 1808-to 1815? Is it still standing and how far is it from Bracobrae?
Many thanks.
