I think this is not the correct Jean REID from the family OP is seeking. This is Jean Christian REID, daughter of John Christian REID.
The one cited by Ros at marriage is more likely correct.

The twice married Jean Meek Reid had me confuddled, but I think she is the daughter of David and Alison ( I haven’t found a marriage for them, but Alison is on the electoral role that has been provided by Sue).
