Hi
Previously I have been provided assistance with Alexander Wood and Elizabeth Wilson Reid.
See the following.
There is an Alexander Frederick Reid Wood born at Saddleworth, 23 June 1868 to Alexander Wood and Elizabeth Wilson Reid.
Gilbert 65/160
And a link to Trove advising of Elizabeth's death noting her as the eldest daughter of William Reid Wilson.
Alexander and Elizabeth were married in 1862 in Stirling North, near Port Augusta.
I cannot establish when Elizabeth arrived in Australia. And cannot find records concerning per parents. Any help re this family would be appreciated.
Regards

Her father, 4th column? http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article4846426
From the cemetery index: WILSON WILLIAM REID 1901 AGE 29, HUSBAND OF MABEL E, SEE RICHARDSON 4384 5
So not her father.

Can you tell us what/where 'SA' refers to please?
It does help others to do look-ups (to help you) if they can relate to full titles as 'SA' can refer to a few different places especially on the 'Beginners Board' which doesn't relate to any Town/County/Country :-\
Annie
Added, I note you have now changed the original 'Subject Heading' to state 'South Australia' rather than 'SA', Thankyou!

Thanks Ros,
Would have been better if OP made it clear for non Oz folks though as we all enjoy reading/researching requests if we know initially where, without having to guess locations ;D

eldest daughter late William Wilson REID, leaving five sons, three daughters-in-law, two grand
sons, one granddaughter to mourn their loss, aged 84 years and 10 months. New Zealand
papers please copy.
Can you identify the children born to Alexander and Elizabeth WOOD.
Have you accounted for them....marriages...deaths....at 1929.
If they are not in NZ, you might wonder who is in NZ, to be informed of Elizabeth's death.
Possibly?
