Reed Family of Jarrow & South Shields
« on: Wednesday 04 April 12 14:12 BST (UK) »
I am interested to hear from anyone connected to John Thomas Reed (b.1856 - d.1939) of Jarrow/South Shields. He was married to Elizabeth Lang Beaton (b.1857 - d.1941) and they had at least 15 children. My connection is James Byers Reed (b.1904 - d.1952). If you recognise any of the following within your family tree, I would like to hear from you. I have researched this family for some time but would like to exchange information and fill in gaps with any surviving relatives.

Richard Reed m. Dora Nixon
Charles Reed m. Esther Henderson Wilson
Florence Reed m. John George Tallack
John Reed m. Dora White
Alexander Reed b.1890
Ethel Reed m. Joseph Woomer Austin
Euphemia Reed b.1894
Edith Reed b.1896
Robert Reed b.1901
Alice Reed
Elizabeth Reed

Kind regards  :)

John Thomas Reed  was my great grandfather.  His son Robert Reed b 1901 was my grandfather who married Adah Pace b 1903, my gran.  I have been trying to trace the Reeds and the Beatons and have some information we could share.  How far have you got?

Hi Laura

Many thanks for your message (I am new to this site so don't know how to reply to it privately).  Yes, you and I are, I think, second cousins.  Joyce is my mum - still alive and just celebrated her 79th last week.  My uncle Kenneth died in 1977 when only 36.  I remember some of the Reeds from when I was little and living in the north-east as some lived next to my dad's parents in Jarrow.  My mum remembers a lot about her uncles and aunts - the family was so big that the older children were old enough to be surrogate parents to the younger ones.  As as result many of mum's cousins were ancient when she was still only in her twenties, as her dad was one of the younger ones.  I have details of the Reeds back to about 1790 in Bishopwearmouth, but there are quite a few gaps.  I have got the Beatons back to about the same in Coll, Scotland and the McAllisters (Elizabeth Lang Beaton's mother's family) back to the late eighteeth century in DUmbartonshire.  Happy to exchange details - just tell me how!  Where are you?  I am on Worcestershire.

David
