REID ANCESTORS FROM IRELAND?
Hi, my LIVERPOOL REID family were from Saltney Street then Hornby Street (where they lived for 21 years) but, having said that, I don't see why your William REID could not be related.
My grandfather was Christopher REID, b. 1872 Liverpool, son of James REID and Elizabeth SMITH (my great grandparents) both registered as living in Furlong Street, Liverpool when they married in 1870. James was full age but Elizabeth was noted as 'minor' on the wedding certificate so I am working their birth years as approx. 1847 for James and 1851 (+) for Elizabeth.
James' father was Alexander REID, a cooper and Elizabeth's father was Thomas SMITH, Labourer.
Unfortunately the wedding certificate DOES NOT give any birthplaces for either my great grandparent's or their respective fathers. However, my grandfather, Christopher Reid, is registered as living with an uncle and aunt - Charles and Mary LUCAS both born in Ireland - in the 1881 census. There is no sign of either of his parents though I assume his father, James Reid, would be away at sea but I have no idea where Elizabeth, his mother, is.
I'm now assuming that if Charles and Mary LUCAS were my grandfather's aunt and uncle then I should be looking to Ireland for my ancestors.
1871 census shows:- 29 Sherwood Street, ‘Scotland’ Liverpool – St Matthias Parish – sharing 1 house
Alexander REID Head 38 Cooper b. Ireland abt. 1833
Margaret “ Wife 36 " 1835
Alexander “ Son 18 Labourer " 1853
Thomas “ Son 18 Seaman " 1853
Patrick “ Son 17 Labourer " 1854
Margaret “ Dau 11 " 1860
Andrew “ Son 7 Liverpool 1864
Mary “ Dau 4 Liverpool 1867
Also at this address are the following families (all of Irish descent) :- White, (H) Kearley, Boyle
Do any of the above have any connections with your family?
Regards,
P.S. It is my Irish ancestors that I am trying to trace now and have hit a brickwall with. Can anybody help please.
I will be away for a month from tomorrow but will check my emails as soon as I get back.
