Thomas Reid/Helen Jess Gracie
« on: Saturday 03 May 14 15:20 BST (UK) »
I have info from a gravestone in the High Kirk Cemetery in Stranraer, Scotland.
It shows that Helen Jess Gracie, wife of Thomas Reid, died in Toronto 22nd Dec
1917. Helen was my Grandmother's sister.
Would anyone be able to help me with any information on this family please.

Thanks

Allan
