Reids of port gordon

[Whenu]

Hi all, I have started to follow my family history and have landed on the Port Gordon history web-page which is very informative.
I am trying to find the family of Robert Sutherlad Reid and his parents George Reid and Anne Sutherland, this is as far as I got then lost the trail in the Port Gordon index
The other side of the family, the Coulls has been traced back to the founding of Port Gordon and I would like to see if it goes back further, cheers and thanks

Hi Whenu

Welcome to Rootschat    

Is this the REID family you mean?

from IGI
http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true
Alexander REID b 2 Jan 1871, Rathven, Banff - George REID & Anne SUTHERLAND
Robert REID b 13 Mar 1873, Enzie, Banff - Parents: George REID & Anne SUTHERLAND

Marriage: George REID & Anne SUTHERLAND - 8 Oct 1869, Enzie, Banff

I think I see them in 1871 Census in Port Gordon - do you have this, or any other Census already already? If we can know what you do have already and what you're looking for next (for the REIDs and the COULLs) , hopefully we can help!


Cheers

Thanks for the prompt reply.
A cousin of mine has done a chart and has actually got a another two generations back but the se two entries of yours are right;
"Robert REID b 13 Mar 1873, Enzie, Banff - Parents: George REID & Anne SUTHERLAND

Marriage: George REID & Anne SUTHERLAND - 8 Oct 1869, Enzie, Banff"
We have their parents marked down as Alexander Reid and Janet? Reid and Robert Sutherland and Magaret Thomson.
 I've attached a copy of the chart I have, cheers

Hi Whenu

Just summarising your pedigree  chart....

Margaret COULL b 27 Jul 1875, Peterhead Aberdeen, died 1951 Gisborne
married 1899 (where?)
Robert Sutherland REID b 13 Mar 1873 Port Gordon. died 1950 Gisborne

His parents:
George REID, son of Alexander REID & Janet REID
married 8 Oct 1869
Anne SUTHERLAND, dau of Robert SUTHERLAND & Margaret THOMSON

Her parents:
William COULL b 1854, Port Gordon

Margaret INNES b 1854 Port Gordon, died 16 Apr 1942

And you go back 2 futher generations with the COULL & INNES

Did Robert REID come to NZ on his own or with his parents/sibling, do you know?

Robert Reid came to NZ via Canada in aprox 1916-8 with his wife and family, I saw a shipping list on a site a while back but can't remember where.
I'll ring my cousin tonight to see if he has any extra information, cheers

Hello... I see this post was a while ago... were there any more updates and progress made on the lines?. I am from the line of Thomas Reid,b 1882,parents George Reid and Anne Sutherland)who married Christina Flett in 1911 . I missed there being another son, Robert..never came up with his siblings on ancestry...... good news for me, ,I will check familysearch to see if he comes up there......
Any further info on the Sutherlands and Robertsons would be great.. and I am a little stuck on Margaret Thompson. I have reviewed Peter Reid's website...also, with the Reid's. Thomas ,according to family knowledge had a son Peter probably in 1921. the year Christina died,who was raised by an uncle (maternal/Paternal?) in Cheshire. Anyone seen a paper record of Peter?... would be truly thankful....

Thank you in advance for your time and attention!

Hi Sal, I've since found out that Robert and Margaret Reid came to NZ via the US, leaving England in 1919 and being in Detroit, Ill. on the 1921 census.
I haven't managed to go back much on the Sutherland side, maybe to Edinburgh via Mortlach, Banff in 1776.
Can't help you on Peter Reid (1921), cheers, Lance
