Hi to all of you above,
I am a direct descendant of Alexander Reid, who is definitely a son of James and Annabella Murray. I have had no end of problems finding birth dates for him and for his three siblings who were born in Scotland before they emigrated, i.e., Ann, James and Henry Grey. The children, who were born in Hobart and at Richmond Hill, Sidmouth are all clearly registered. However, Alexander and Clara Childes, who were both born when they were living at Macquarie River, (Campbeltown) are missing records. The Family Search reference is only from How reliable is "Ancestral File A static collection of genealogies submitted by users, prior to 2003, including 40 million ancestors", which I don't consider to be terribly reliable. Of course, we have marriage records when he married Annabella Murray and also the Trove report as recorded above.
