Lanarkshire / Re: Archibald Reid b.1785 Rutherglen
« on: Saturday 17 November 18 18:14 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
Archibald Reid and Janet Hardie are my 4x great grandparents. From comparing the 1841 census records with a birth certificate I found for an Archibald Reid, Archibald's parents are most definitely Archibald Reid and Elizabeth Millar. I have been trying to trace Archibald Reid Snr b.1745 or b.1743 parents, however there are 2 records which could be his birth certificate. His parents are either John Reid and Elizabeth Bogle or James Reid and Janet Park. Both records show that an Archibald Reid was born in Rutherglen, so it is hard to tell which is the correct record.
I have really hit a brick wall - it would be so helpful if someone who has this information could please share it with me.
I also believe that Elizabeth Millar's parents were Patrick Millar and Margaret Sinclair, who originated from Shetland. This is only based upon other chat forums, and I have not found any documentation to support this. If anyone can also verify this that would be so helpful.
Thank you so much in advance!
Kelsey
