My grandfather, James Reid, had several siblings, one of who was named John (called "Uncle Jock" by my mother).
My grandfather was born in Stenhousemuir, Parish of Lambert in the County of Stirling, Scotland on Sept. 17, 1866. His parents were David Reid (an Iron Moulder) and Janet White Reid. (I have the birth certificate)
I'm afraid the rest of this is from my 84 year old mother's memory...
James' 7 siblings were:
*William (married Marion Harvie (his wife's sister), had 3 sons and 2 daughters);
*John (Jock married Ann, children: Wee Jock, Nora, Ann, Jean, Amy (and 2 more girls). Nora and Amy lived in Santa Ana, CA.
*David married Minnie (had #? children, one named Anonia);
*Isobel(married Topping Wilkie, no issue);
*a brother (no name) possibly in Australia;
*Jessica (went to So. Africa, married late,no issue);
*Alexander married (Ann?)children are Joe, Helen, and Belle and farmed in Billsborogh, NY; and
*Robert(married Mary (Brown?) 6 children.
My grandfather, James Reid left Scotland and hopped ship in New York, ending up in Geneva, New York, where he met and married my grandmother Agnes Ross Harvie, originally from Ontario, Canada. They had 6 children, the youngest (and only one still living) is my mother Esther Agnes Roscoe, in CA.
