Robert Reid
« on: Thursday 28 February 19 20:02 GMT (UK) »
I am interested in  any details about Robert Reid 'a forebears.
He married Mary Ferguson ( daughter of Donald Ferguson and possibly Katharine Sutherland )  in Inverkeithing Fife in 1804 and they had 2 children that I can find. Jean In 1806 and  Robert in 1809.
Robert junior was baptised in February 1809 and described as a Posthumous child so Robert senior must have died in 1808 or very early 1809.
Present at the baptism was a John Reid who perhaps was Robert senior's father or brother
Looking for Reids in Scotland is like trying to find a needle in a haystack so I'd be grateful for any information  anyone has.
Many Thanks

What resources are you using to find this information?
Scotlandspeople is probably the best site for all things Scottish, if you're not already using it.
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Pine/Pyne, Dowdeswell, Kempster, Sando/Sandoe/Sandow, Nancarrow, Hounslow, Youatt, Richardson, Jarmyn, Oxlade, Coad, Kelsey, Crampton, Lindner, Pittaway, and too many others to name.
Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.

Hi
I've used lots of resources including Scotland's People, which as you say is very useful. I was hoping to find the births of Robert senior and Mary and get another generation back. I think I might have to let this one rest as the trouble is as often happens with common names, lots of possible matches and lack of information.
Cheers

Oh Dear,
I have made a basic mistake here.
I looked at Robert Reids death certificate and it looks like his mother wasn't  Mary Ferguson as I thought.
His father was Robert  but it looks like his mother was called Janet (possibly ferguson) but cannot find a marriage for his parents. One step forward and two back. >:(
Tried to attach vile but too large.

Quite a problem there.
Although the info on a Death Cert is only as good as the informants knowledge.

Although on Census Robert says he was born c 1812/1813.

Its not my area of expertise but can you possibly cut/paste the part of the Death Cert with his Mothers mn?
