Title: ASTON Birmingham - REED/REID
Post by: smithk44 on Friday 05 October 12 14:36 BST (UK)

Hello could someone lookup a baptism record for a Frederick William Reed/reid in 1880/1881. I believe his father is Thomas William and his mother may be Sophia. He is listed in 1911 census as being 30 so I'm looking between 1879 - 1881. There are two potential birth cetificates - one is Frederick William Reed born 1878 and one Frederick Reed in 1881.

Thanks!

Hi there
Had a look at his Army Service papers when he joined the Royal Welsh Fusseliers in 22.1. 1900.,when he was ? and 11 months old labourer.
Frederick William Reid m Lilly hawker 2/101/1910 at St Clements's Birmingham daughter of William and Maud Hawker.
They had 4 children
Ida Lillian 27/5/1911 all in Aston
William Frederick 24/5/1912
Joseph Ernest 31/7/1913
Frederick william 4/9/1914
His father IS Thomas William Ried (14 Francis Terrace?)
He was in China for some of the time so may be missing from the census.
He had a tatoo of a Cross Flags and a Shield.
Is this your man?

Yes, that's him! Thank you! I now know his father is definitely Thomas William, but I thought if I had a baptism I could confirm his mothers name!
