Title: REECE family name
Post by: telephonist on Sunday 09 July 06 11:08 BST (UK)

Anyone researching the REECE family with this spelling. I believe they did go into England. William and Sar may have had children William, John and Thomas around 1827 and on?

Hi, 

I too am researching the Reece family, and the known details I have are:

William Reece  -  Engineer
Wife Reece       -  unknown

Children known:    John Reece - born in Warwickshire around 1835 (from the 1861 and 1871 census for Spittlegate in Grantham.  John Reece was an iron turner, and married Sarah Anne Butler in 1857 in Grantham.  They then went to Scotland around 1870 where Sarah Anne Died in 1883.

The family story was that the Reeces came from Wales, but I can only get back to around 1835 where John was born. 

From John Reeces marriage certificate he names his father as William Reece - Engineer - deceased.

Any of these details of interest to you?

with kindest regards,
myra from sunny Tasmania
