Hello,
I was interested to see your reference to Greenock. My GGgrandparents were George Reid and Elizabeth Connelly; they married in Greenock on 28 Feb 1871, and their two eldest children Elizabeth Mclachlan Reid (b 7 Dec 1871) and Georgina Reid (b 23 Nov 1873) were also born in Greenock. They moved to Barrow-in-Furness in Lancashire around 1874 and my Ggrandfather William Reid (1875-1955) was born there. George Reid died young and his widow married a man named George Pearson, and subsequently returned with her children to Glasgow. Any of this ring a bell?
Until I get George Reid's marriage cert I won't know who his parents were.
best wishes,
Aileen Reid
