Banffshire / John Reid & Janet Cowie
« on: Friday 27 April 12 00:41 BST (UK)  »

Hi all,

I've traced my family tree back to John Reid (c1816->at least c1876) and Janet Cowie (c1821 -> before 1860), who got married 08/11/1834 in Rathven.

Unfortunately, the marriage record is just a one line scribble in a parish record - listing the parents of neither :-( With so many John and Janet Reids in the area at the time, it is near impossible to say with any certainty which death records (which might list their parents) pertain to these two and not to others. I am therefore stuck in my attempts to trace back any further.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Duncan

Orkney / Reid / Swanny - on Stronsay / Stromness
« on: Friday 27 April 12 00:31 BST (UK)  »

Hi all,

This is my first post to this site, so please forgive any mistakes!

I'm looking for any living descendants of John Reid (1865-1929) and Mary Swanny (1872-1941). The family were on Stronsay for the 1911 census. I've got the names of some of their children: Betsy, Mary, Christina, Tonie, James, George, Agnes, John and Peter and in some cases know the names of people they married and names of some children.

What I'm missing is contact with any living descendants.

I'm especially interested to find out what became of their son, John William Reid, 1912-? as he was last seen c1956...

Any help will be much appreciated...

Thanks,

Duncan
