Hello Florence Alexander Reid was born about 1857 in New Monkland , this is according to the census records from 1881,1891, and his death certificate of 02Jul 1899 .He died in Polmont ,Stirlingshire. I could never find him in 1861 or 1871 . Rhode found an Alexander Reid of the right age and born Lanarkshire in The Mossend Industrial School in 1871 but this is in Renfrew. I have his mothers death Certificate of September 1859 ,She was a widow and died of Syphyllis 12 months. I took his Parents from his marriage certificate when he married Elizabeth McIntyre on the 29th Dec 1882 . The couple had a daughter Elizabeth born 1882 at the marriage he lived it her mothers house on Muslin Street and she lived on Old Dalmarnock Road. My email yesterday was I was wondering about all the Hamilton's connected to that small tree, my thought was might someone have a part of the tree in their line then we might find where to look next Thank you Bpb -------------------------------------------------- From: "florence meade" <kichtabearound@hotmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 14, 2010 11:01 AM To: <lanark@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [Lanark] LANARK Digest, Vol 5, Issue 171
