Jacob Reid
I need some help in finding my grandfather Jacob Reids family.
I do believe he was born in Old Shop,Trinity Bay about 1900 and died in St.John's maybe about 1968.No luck in locating him in the census out in that area.
He married Effie Mae Newhook of New Harbour.
My fathers name was Robert Walter Reid born in 1926 in St.Johns.
My grandfather shows living on 52 Flower Hill in the 1935 and 1945 census.
He worked at the Grace Hospital on Lemarchant Rd.in St.Johns.
After his second marriage he and his wife moved to Indian Pond Rd. in Seal Cove,CBS.
He married a second time to a widow Elizabeth Hedd(Head) whose maiden name was Butt.
My deceased father and his only sibling a brother who is still living always said they had no idea who their paternal grandparents were which I found/find strange.
My mother who passed away years ago thought she heard my fathers father had a brother Eddie who had a daughter Lorraine who married a William Frampton and they moved to Bay Roberts many years ago.
If anyone recognizes any person here please contact me.
I would appreciate the littlest clue.
