Dear All

To go back to the beginning

David Reid married Eliza Jane Dunbar February 1878 in Bally Black.

After the death of Eliza Jane,  David Reid married a widow, Sarah Brown in 1887 in  Lanarkshire  Scotland and on the marriage cert. his parents are named as David Reid (deceased) and Isabella Kennedy.
I have been unable to find a birth for David and according to 1881 Scotland census  he gives his date of birth as 1848 Ireland. However, on US census records he gives his place of birth as Scotland.

I have found a William Reid born Down Ireland on the IGI (not a submitted record, batch number available) who married in Iowa USA 1894 and he also has parents David Reid and Isabella Kennedy.

Any ideas where I can find births  for David or William or indeed the marriage of David Reid to Isabella Kennedy?

Thank you for your interest.

Elizabeth Jane (Dunbar) Reid caught Typhoid Fever and died age 26 in Larkhall Scotland.
From her death cert. I'm unable to decipher the maiden name of her mother and wonder if anyone can help.

I found her father's marriage and death (Hance Dunbar) and after looking through all the Elizabeth Jane's on the 'pilot family search' site  to connect  with Hance Dunbar 1858 Newtownards, nothing seemed close to matching with the name on the death cert.

Hi

I'm looking for a William and Mary Richardson who were living in the Stapleton area around 1774.
Stapleton is given as the place of birth of Thomas, one of their sons, born 1774

Another son Richard, born around 1778 was possibly born at Brackenhill nr Longtown (origiinally owned by the Graham family).

The Graham's and Richardson's have strong connections and I'm wondering if the above named Mary Richardson was a Graham before marriage.

I have found the family's  MI on a headstone at St Mary's Walton which is badly weathered and difficult to decipher.

Erected in the  memory of William Richardson of ?? who died ? aged 92 years also of Mary his wife who died December 12 aged 18?8 aged 87? years
Also Richard their son who died ?? 2nd 1821 aged 43 years  also Thomas son of above Richard Richardson who died 20th September 1844 aged 24 years also Mary wife of the above Richard Richardson who died at Wetheral 22nd December 1871 aged 87 years.

Any information regarding William and Mary would be appreciated.
