Could Alexander Reid's parents possibly be Peter Reid and spouse Isabella Stewart instead of James and Janet Hamilton? I'm looking at the 1851 Kilbride, Lanark census for Christina Reid parents Peter Reid and Isabella (Stewart). I'm finding Peter Reid b 1824 Rutherglen, Lanark, wife Isabella with step children Christian Scott Age 1842 step-daughter, and Alexander Scott b 1846 and daughter Janet Reid 2 weeks b. 1851. Was your Alexander Reid born about 1824 Kilbride, Lanark? > From: lanark-request@rootsweb.com > Subject: LANARK Digest, Vol 5, Issue 171 > To: lanark@rootsweb.com > Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2010 01:00:53 -0600 > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

On the 1851 Census for Avondale William Orr head aged 44 born Strathaven wife Isabella aged 44, also a daughter Isabella aged 22. On the bottom of the family is William Gillies Hamilton Grson aged 2, on the IGI I find a patron submission that William is the son of William Hamilton and Isabella Orr. I have in the tree a William Hamilton b 1816 who married an Agnes Stewart > they had a son William Hamilton born 1848, who married an Elizabeth Gillies formerly McIntyre on 05 Sep 1873 Bridgton . Elizabeth (Gillies ) Hamilton is the mother of Elizabeth McIntyre who married Alexander Reid ,son of James Reid and Janet Hamilton. Can anyone work out who is who in this lot. > > Thanking you in Advance > > Bob > > ------------------------------ >
