REID/GRANT INVERAVEN?
« on: Monday 05 January 15 15:13 GMT (UK) »
I am Looking for Births & Marriage [if there is one] of John Reid and Margaret Grant.  My GT GT GT Grandfather James Reid was born in Belleheiglash, Inveraven 1799 but cannot find births and a  marriage of his parents.  Would appreciate it if anyone can  help.

Thank you

Where did you get the above information from? What else do you know about James Reid?
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Thank you for replying I use Scotlandspeople.  My Grandmother was Barbara Reid born Migvie 1877, her parents James Reid 1830 Bellehaiglash & Mary Gerrie 1837 Leochel-Cushnie.  His father James Reid Born Inveraven 1799 & Mary Glennie 1794 Culquhanny James's father John Reid and mother Margaret Grant.

I never mentioned James was a Mason and his father a farmer.

What I meant is, how do you know that he was born in Belleheiglash in 1799 if you can't find his baptism?

Apologises James Reid born 1830 in Belleheglash OPR and it states on marriage records for his father & mother that James 1799 came from Belleheglash too.    John & Margaret I can't find records for.

Midgie,  you might find that "Belleheglash" is listed elsewhere as Kirkton which is what it means.

Absolutely correct. However this one is consistently mapped as Belleheiglash. See
