Janet Cunningham/William Reid

[kslapp]

His first son is John Reid (1781), then James Reid (1788), then William Reid (1789). These three didn’t have the mother listed, but he was a laborer at a specific estate and that is listed on the birth records.

His death certificate says his father was a farm laborer at Easterhouse which was true. He was also a laborer at Barrachnie. Both of which in Old Monkland Parrish nearby each other.

The first three baptism docs say the same thing.

In your other thread you say there was a John born first and that you've seen his baptism info that lines up with that of the next two children James and William...

What about that John?

I probably shouldn’t be doing research first thing in the morning.

I forgot about John. He is first. LOL

Having duplicate threads is not a good idea in the first place, but when the duplicate threads have conflicting information it makes it extremely difficult to work out what's happening.

It's okay  , I read it before I was caffinated.

Just to recap... do you have clues that tie the William Reid of the first 3 births (John, James , William) with the father of the later children starting with Alexander?

It's not really okay because we are now getting potentially conflicting information in two different threads running in parallel.
