The Reid family - Portadown
« on: Wednesday 29 September 04 22:50 BST (UK) »
Hello:
 
I am trying to find some extended family that moved from London in the early 1900's I believe to Portadown. I would imagine most of the names below are now gone so I search for their descendants.
 
David and Louisa Reid (parents), Louisa is nee TAYLOR
 
Children
Cecil
Gordon
Eric
Harold (may still be alive)
 
I would be interested in finding the death records for any of them or marriage certificates so I could trace their descendants.
 
Thank you
David Taylor

Hi,

Your best bet is to search the birth, marriage and death indexes at the Dublin GRO or PRONI in Belfast for their names.

there are quite a few REID families listed in Portadown. You could try BT directory enquiries and telephone them or get the addresses from 192.com and drop each one a short letter explaining who you are and who your reason for writing - I've done this in the past and it has borne fruit.

I would like to thank the anonymous person that contacted the Reid family on my behalf. My Great Aunt had the opportunity to speak with her first cousin the other day for the first time in 60 years!! Thanks again
