Great to hear from you. My Uncle (Geoff) has been working with me on the Reece family tree as his mother (my grandmother) is a Reece. He has a lot of detailed information which he would be happy to share with you. He unfortunately does not have a computer so I have to contact him by phone or address - (*)

Evening Pauline,
It's great to be in touch with another member of the family. I will get back to you with other information once I have got it in better order. My uncle,*, has been working with me on our family tree ( his mother, my grandmother was a Reece). He is very keen to talk to you but unfortunately hasn't got a computer at home. However he is happy for me to send you his telephone number so that you can speak to him and I am sure he will post lots of information to you ( he has amassed a considerable amount). His number is *. He lives in Lincolnshire in the Uk.
Keep in touch
Sue

Morning Pauline.
I have the dates for Johns father: dates for John Reece (1837-1876).
John Reece had 3 sons and 2 daughters (Elizabeth 1876-1878, David 1865-1875, John 1867,(he was a sawmill worker and was married to Elizabet Allen in about 1890), Anne Baxter-Reece 1869-1873, Robert 1871-1941
John Reece had a son called David Baxter-Reece and he died on Monkweirmouth Bridge in 1940 of natural causes.
I have little information beyond this although my investigations suggest that there is a link to the USA.
I have contacted the Sunderland Antiquarian society ( they have a lot of information) and am hoping to get further with their help(www.sunderland-antiquarians.org)
I have a lot of information on the Scott family if you are going in that direction.
Susan

Hi to all searching Ca,pt Robert Reece.
I am new to this site but am the great grand daughter of Robert. My uncle and I have been researching our family tree for some time and have gone back a very long way. My uncle is the grandson of Robert  and really wants to talk to you. He believes that you are his cousin. He wants me to give you his phone number but I would like you to contact me first.
