Thanks for the guidance.  I am slowly learning.  I confess I have not used RootsChat as often as I could or should, but perhaps that will now change.  Great group!

Thank you so much for that link.  I confess I do not know how to navigate around RootsChat as well as I should, and like most men, I hate to ask directions.

Very glad to hear from you.  I had the photo of John Reid posted on RootsChat.Com but it seems to have been taken down.  I believe that best way to exchange information is via my email: (*).
I will he happy to share any information I have with you.

Seeking information on John Reed (Reid) and Hester McKeon of Birr, Offaly, Ireland.  John Reed was born ca. 1770.  They had two known children, John Reid (1797-1872) and Edward Reid b. ca. 1806.  Their son John Reid (my ancestor) was a Sergeant of the 48th Regiment of Foot and saw service in Ireland, Isle of Man, England, Australia and India.  Any information on John Reed and Hester McKeon would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the information.  The John Reid of the 1871 census is definitely the right one.  Your help is most appreciated.

Seeking information on Sergeant John Reid of the 48th Foot, born in Birr, King's County, Ireland, in April 1798, died 7 May 1872 at 7 Park Hills Steet, Bury, Lancashire, England.  He married Mary Ann Parkes (1807-1865), an Australian convict, on 24 December 1827 at Bellary Chapelry, Kamataka, India.  He was released from military service in 1838 for reasons of health.  In 1841 he was living at Ramsey, Isle of Man, then moved to Manchester and finally to Bury, Lancashire, where he operated a store and shoe shop.  While living at Tottington, Lancashire, his daughter Henrietta Mona Reid (1848-1932) met Thomas Schofield (1826-1898), Master Dyer at the Manchester Woolen Mills, and later migrated with the Schofield family to America, settling in Utah.  Henrietta Mona became a polygamous (Mormon) wife of Thomas Schofield.  Thomas and Henrietta Mona were my great-grandparents.  Any information welcomed, but especially interested in parents of John Reid.(photo of John Reid)

Australia / Re: REID/PARKES family
« on: Sunday 04 April 10 14:32 BST (UK)  »
I appreciate the suggestions.  However, I have the Parkes family information fairly well documented for many generations.  I have Mary Ann Parkes, daughter of John Parkes and Margaret Southern, born in Australia, died in Lancashire, England.  My problem is with John Reid.  He was born in Ireland in 1798, but in Ireland birth records date from 1864, when the Irish civil registration system was introduced. Until this time, a child's arrival was recorded only by baptism (or christening, according to religious denomination).  It requires a search of church and parish records, and Irish records are sparse.  I have copies of John Reid's military records, which show his service in Ireland, Isle of Man, England, Australia, and India; it also contains his marriage record to Mary Ann Parkes in India.  But his parents remain elusive.  I appreciate any and all suggestions and you have been most generous.  Thank you.
