Bowmanville Cemetery Headstones photos
« on: Thursday 17 January 19 20:08 GMT (UK) »
I would like to ask if anyone living in the Bowmanville Community would be willing to take a photo of my great great grandfather's headstone.  His name is Henry Solomon Reid.  I have not discovered it on any of the headstone sites.  Some gravestones have been photographed in this cemetery and are posted online but not Section H

There is a headstone for Henry S. Reid  Section H, Bowmanville Cemetery, Bowmanville, Durham, Ontario ID # 371441 b. 16 Feb 1792, d. 28 Nov 1852   
Other Reids relatives in this section H area near Henry -  Elizabeth Reid, Annie G. Reid, Henry Arthur Lestock Reid, Margaret Murdoch Reid, Henry R. Reid, Lestock H. Reid, Juliet Margaret Reid
*Note: Henry S. Reid and Henry Arthur Lestock Reid are listed as not buried there.  Maybe they were cremated

Thank you,
anngar

Hi Sandra,

Nicole A from https://www.raogk.org/lookups/region/ontario/ contacted me and generously agreed to photograph my great great grandfather's headstone along with other relatives in same area.  Thank you for directing me to this wonderful site and Nicole A in particular.  Rootschat is my favourite forum.  I have always had great results to my queries, so thank you very much
