Title: Alexander REID 1783 - 1858
Post by: mcleodsyme on Friday 11 March 11 01:45 GMT (UK)

 I am looking for information on the ancestry of Alexander Reid, he married Mary Muirhead 1809 in Scotland went to Van Diem Land ( Tasmania) Australia in 1821.

In the Clyde Company Paper it said his great grand uncle was Rev. George Reid and his great  grand aunt played a part in the anti-corn law league, she was a sister of Rev. George Reid named Agnes and married David Prentice.

 My ancester was James Reid a brother of Rev. George and Agnes (Ried) Prentice.

Any information would be appreciated

Thank you

McLeod/Syme
