The Grizel/Grace who was born in 1804, she went on to marry Donald Reid in 1831. I think this is her in 1851 with family and her mother:

Donald Reid 45 mason
Grace Reid 45 b. Logierait, perthshire
Isabella Reid 19
Grace Robertson 75 mother in law, Formerly Farmer's Wife b. Logierait, perthshire

Address: Allanach, Logierait

There is a death in Logierait in 1858 for a Grace Robertson/Reid aged 85. Mother's maiden name IMRIE.

I don't know if this connects to John born 1798  Likely just a co-incidence with couples' names.

Maybe his will and death cert will throw up some more details.

Monica you are a star.
The John Reid I had as date of death 1871 is the one you found died 2nd April 1880.
His Will mentions his eldest son John farming at Hilton of Aldie, his second son living with him and on a shared farm tenancy at Ingrie, near Lesley, Fife. his wife Ann Archibald and daughter Grace.

His death certificate states his Father as John Reid and Mother as Mary Reid  M. SI Robertson, so maybe the John Reid's  wife was not Grizel Robertson and I am going down the wrong road. 

Many thanks for all your help.

I think it is very likely that the informant did not remember the name of John Reid's mother. It is a pain but this happens unfortunately.

You have his baptism don't you? You can view the image of this on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

Son Henry Born about 1793/1795 who died 2nd April 1806 aged 11 years old.
Son James born 5th April 1796, Baptism 10th April 1796 and died 1st August 1822/1823 aged 26

Is this from an inscription at the cemetery?

From Scotlands People, this looks like a possible death entry for Ann, wife of John:

Ann Reid/Archibald, aged 71
Mother's maiden name GREIG
1881
444/ 40
Leslie (Fife)

Her death cert should include her parents' names....if known by the informant 

There is this possible entry for her birth www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XYK8-229

I'll check John Reid's baptism and see if his mother is listed.

Yes it is an inscription at our local churchyard

How about this possible marriage for daughter Mary?
