Christine, I can’t locate this 1851 census with William and Margaret on, can you let me know where they were living and who was in the household so I can find it please. I’m feeling pretty useless, is it because it’s not on Ancestry?

The 1851 entry Christine refers to is also on Ancestry.
Just search for William Reid born Meldon.

Christine, I didn’t realise that you’d taken so much trouble to actually look. Thank you so much! As you say, Susannah looks like it must be an error as Margaret appears in later census, perhaps confusion with daughter Susannah.
Somebody on Ancestry has a tree with my George, with son John and his wife and family, indicating Margaret as a Margaret TROPE, but it isn’t clear how they arrived at that conclusion.

Thanks Jen, I managed to find it

I think that the Margaret is Margaret Trobe (or Trolop) and that she married William Reed in Ponteland on 31st Jan 1813
Is there any more detail on Find My Past or any other site that could give more information on this?

[c-side]

According to the Northumberland marriage index 1813 - 1837 William Reed and Margaret Trobe were married in Warkworth on 7th February 1813.

I seems likely that the information you are looking at is one of the banns being published in Ponteland which would be where one of the two was resident.

Going back to the marriage index, this is the only marriage of a William Reed and Margaret which would fit the bill - others are listed but all much later than their childrens' baptisms.

I think the marriage is the right one.

Warkworth 7 Feb 1813. William Reed of the Parish of Ponteland and Margaret Trobe of the Parish of Brainshaugh.
Witnesses William Trobe and Ann Thompson

There is a Margaret Reid in 1861 in Longhirst Village, same place as in 1851 with husband William and daughter Eleanor, but now widowed.

Thank you Alan
The Margaret Trobe I thought it was, born in 1793 in Shilbottle, daughter of Jane and John, it turns out died in 1800 aged 7, so obviously it’s not her. I can’t track the Brainshaugh Margaret Trobe you refer to, only another Margaret Trobe born in Bamburgh 1791, so definitely not her. Where did you find the details of the Brainshaugh Margaret Trobe please?
