hello Richard, I have no O'HAIR connections amongst the REED family, my REEDS were from the Dalton-le-Dale, Seaham Harbour area, although I have a George REED married to Anne POTTS around 1827 in Sunderland. I also have STEPHENSONS from Easington, married to a REED family member in 1870. Sorry there's no link but its all interesting hearing about my place of birth. regards, Derek Lambert.
