Birth lookup for Francis MCHugh Reid
« on: Friday 16 December 16 03:15 GMT (UK) »
Can someone help me locate the birth certificate of my GGrandfather Francis McHugh Reid. He was supposedly born 1867/8 Napier NZ to David Glen Reid and Rose Gray. They arrived in NZ on the Belgravia in 1865. David was married to an Anne Robertson in Derry  prior to his marriage to Rose Gray and had a daughter Johanna by Anne Robertson. I can find no trace of the  birth  of Francis on the BDM site although some of their other children Rose 1869,Henrietta 1872, and Florence 1876 are all there. He married Margaret Kennedy in Feb 1898 and their first son Douglas Glen is born 18/10/1898 Pahiatua. The birth cert  for Doug states he is 30 and born in Napier. The McHugh in his name I felt was a bit odd then I discovered David's first daughter Johanna married a Bernard Francis McHugh in 1868 in Napier before leaving for Australia. Could he be their son but has been passed off as her Fathers? No record anywhere. Does anyone have any ideas where I could look next?

That's the wedding of Johanna Reid daughter of David Glen Reid and Anne Robertson. It's not my GGrandfathers wedding. He married Margaret Kennedy.

Thanks for all your help with this. I think that the Bernard McHugh on the Belgravia is the man who marries Johanna Reid in 1868 in Napier. Perhaps they knew one another in Londonderry before coming to NZ not sure. As to when did David Glen Reid and Rose Gray marry that was on 13 Nov 1855 in Templemore Derry. I know they  had a daughter Mary in Derry in 1864. I saw a list of Reids on the Belgravia and I saw a Glen Reid and I wondered if that was Rose as she did not seem to be mentioned on the passenger list. It is a mystery of when and where Francis McHugh Reid was born and to who I feel.
