REID

Surnames:Reid, Cunningham, Weir

Jessie Victoria Reid, my great-grandmother, was born in 1861 in Ormstown to James Reid, a Jamestown farmer, and his wife, Jane Elizabeth Weir, of Montreal.The Reids had the usual large family – Eliza Jemima (married Robert Cairns), Edward, James Weir (married Janet Bryson [1c3r]), Margaret Emma (married William Ross [1c3r]), Mary Jane (married Andrew Ross [1c3r]) Thomas, Peter (married Mary Ann McGarth), Anna Bella, and Jessie, who married Thomas Alexander “Big Alex” Cunningham and farmed in the Ormstown area. I think James Reid was the son of Peter Reid and Mary Flanaghan but lack the documentation – just cannot find a birth entry for James Reid.

So..if any of this sounds familiar to you please contact me and let’s compare notes.
