Hello GGG of William Scott Reece,

Thanks for connecting.  I'd love to share more information with you.  Since I have a lot of information it might be easiest for me to do this via regular email.  That way I can attach documents.  If you would  respond to this message to let me know your continued interest I will research how to send you my personal email through personal messaging since it is not recommended that personal contact information be shared on this site.   I can also put you in touch with another cousin who is an excellent researcher and also a descendent of David Reece and Elizabeth Scott.

Hi Susan,

Thanks so much for replying so quickly.  I already have all the information you mentioned about John Reece (1837 to 1876) and his children.  I remember my Nana telling me about her brother Davey who collapsed on Wearmouth Bridge coming home from work.  I also found a newspaper article about him.  Apparently the Coroner said the cause of death was heart disease.  Also he served in Salonika in WWI and contracted Malaria.  Although he suffered from the recurring effects of the disease, he did not die from it.

I have been to the Antiquarian Society and they're great, although I only visited them once when I was home last summer.  I am interested in the USA link.  I now live in the US myself although I was born in Sunderland.  Perhaps I am that link.

I would be very interested in information about the Scott family.  I come across a lot of Sunderland Scotts in the research material, and also Scotts have married into my family several times.  It is difficult for me to sort out from the material which Scotts are my(our) Scotts.

Maybe I have information you would find useful.  Is there anything specifically that you are looking for that I can help you with?
