hi pal,
had a wee look at the igi's for your family, it seems that an awful lot are submitted going away back to alexander 3/8/1731.
it seems that alexander reid married margaret stuart 6/3/1773
they had a son james-3/3/1772 who married jane murdoch and died 15/6/1841 dunbarton
anyway the best i could make of it all was the extracted files for alexander and elizabeth burns, but yet again there seems to be a wee hic-up, alexander married elizabeth burns on the 13/6/1838 in old kilpatrick and alexander ross reid married elizabeth burns in aberdeen on the 3/3/1866
which ones are yours?
james reid...born 30/8/1839(extracted)
robert burns reid...born 1840(submitted)
then to aberdeen, which are all extracted
alexander...14/6/1866
jane...7/9/1867
elizabeth...21/1/1869
margaret...5/3/1874
cannot see the family on the 1841 census, sorry
Joe
