Hi, I am the Granddaughter of Ronald Reed from Castleford. His Father was Amos Reed and he had a Sister called Minnie, also a Brother who died quite young but I don’t know his name. We have just started searching our family tree on Ancestry, so it would be really good to swap information. Thanks Nicola

Welcome to Rootschat. :)
It is a long time since Imeson posted and I am not sure if the families are connected.
However, is this your Amos? You have not given any dates but there is a sister, Minnie.

He has parents George and Mary Elizabeth.

Thank you for replying, that’s so good of you. I’m trying to find out who Amos Reed married as she would have been my Granddads (Ronald Reed) mother.

If you subscribe to Ancestry, or your local library has it you will find the divorce record there. Basically Francis H Richardson was an adulterer and deserted his wife (Florence) and child (John Richard Richardson)
