Lanarkshire / Re: Moore, Reid

I'm disappointed that I have never heard back from farmerjosephine. Perhaps I was not clear in my post that my Great Granduncle Andrew Reid who died in Perth Prison for the criminally insane was in fact the Andrew Reid who was a biscuit manufacturer in Glasgow and husband of Jane Park. The Reid part of the query doesn't seem to have attracted much attention. If anyone's interested in this line, I have lots of information.

Les,

Sounds like a good lead. I'd appreciate a copy but as I am new here I am not yet allowed a PM

Andrew Reid is my Great Granduncle. He appears to have been a great "rags to riches and back to rags" story as he ended up in the Perth Prison for the Criminally Insane. He does have connections with Australia. In fact he was part owner of the "James Craig", now the flagship of the Sydney Heritage Fleet, originally launched as the "Clan McLeod" in 1874. He was also an owner of the "Andrew Reid" which ended her days in Australian waters. His uncle William died at Nine Mile Rush, Whirro, Australia. Contact me for lots more info on this family line.
