It is brilliant that you have given me another name ... barbara. Another lead hopefully.

On 1861 Barbara Anderson is living with the family......recorded as John's mother in law.

She was also with the family in 1841.................and she was Jean Dobie's mother, as per Jean's baptism record.

John & Margaret's children........unfortunately, the baptism of Jane rules out the possibility of your being able to get a marriage cert.............

*Mother in Law' in 1861

I am really pleased and so will my mum be. Thanks to everyone

Take your time to study the info................then if you think it's the right John........look on Scotlands people to see if there's a cert for the second marriage. If there is - his parents should be named.

BTW.........it was John's dates I was asking you to check......James's weren't a problem.

But it's all sorted itself out now, so no need to worry.

The birthplace for James on 1851 is Larkhall, so it does seem that it's the right family.................

I am so happy as you seem to have found loads. Its a pity that John Reeds parents are not given and where about in England he came from.

John D reid was born in lanarkshire. My mum says stonehouse, larkhall area

You have all been so quick I cant get my head round it LOL I believe this is the correct family though.Let me see if I can understand LOL. James d reid was born 1850 and they were married in 1882 sorry about the error
