Thanks wini

Sounds good to me Wini.
Chris, the poor gentlemen would have to be in a terrible fix for that. I wouldn't know my wicket from a blackthorn bush!

Pat, Do not worry about it too much. You are a bit like myself and I am sure they will not call upon either of us. I wonder if they would like a couple of After Dinner Speakers on the subject of Genealogy. I hear those guys are paid quite well and a free meal is thrown in too.

 I hope your after dinner speech is as entertaining as your Rootschat.
I still haven't found any of my Reid and McNeice relatives
Looks as if they may be from Antrim.

Good Morning Wini,

You may find some McNeice in Co. Antrim here http://www.familysearch.org
There might be no harm looking at McNiece as well.
Spelling was not a strong point in those days

Hi there!

Really late to this post!

I'm looking for a Samuel Reid (born c. 1780/1790) who was married to a Margaret Shaw. On his son's Scottish marriage certificate in 1858 both he and Margaret are marked as deceased and Samuel's occupation is noted as a farmer. His son, John, was born c. 1813 in Ireland though I have no idea where and no idea where Samuel and Margaret also came from. I see on the Ros Davies list there are some Samuels who are farmers but no way of telling if he is one of them

Strangely, the Reid's are my paternal line but a Henry McNeice (1864-1935) married my maternal Great Aunt, Allice/Alice McCoy (1866-1939) in Lisburn in 1893 and then moved to Glasgow.
