Thank you for your message and it's quite possible that this is the brother of our William Reed, however we are only following the direct line of the family and not anyone else. Best wishes.
Thanks for your reply. I thought that might be the case. It's really easy to "branch off" when doing research.
I don't know where my family got it as we have no connection with the Reed family so far as I'm aware.
Best wishes for your research.
