Hello Nancy Reid, Thank you for your response to my posting regarding these two ancestors of mine. You are right about the Scots origins of the Reid families. As I told John Bettridge I have been back through some of my old papers and found some data passed on to me by a cousin some years ago not long before he died. This cousin has had some paid research carried out in Derry during the early 1990's. So it is my belief that our Reid family had been in Ireland for a good number of generations as born out by the fact that Michael Reid the grandson of Michael and Margaret married in a Catholic Chapel. I understand that after the plantation in the 1600's a slow process of took place where in some instances the two populations of Ireland melded. I wish I knew more about my Reid and Barlow families. Seeking family history in Ireland is much more difficult than it is in Scotland. Like many here in New Zealand as in other places most families have both Scots and Irish backgrounds. Our research in Scotland goes fairly well. I can not say the same for Ireland. I too wish you good luck with your research. Greg in Raumati New Zealand

Hello John Bettridge, Thank you for your response to my posting regarding these two ancestors of mine. I have been back through some of my old papers and found some data passed on to me by a cousin some years ago not long before he died. This cousin has had some paid research carries out in Derry during the early 1990's. All of his research papers have gone to his sister and she does not respond to my correspondence. I say this because I think more information may be known about Michael and Margaret. I just not have access to it. Anyway back to the papers I found. I have a photocopy a map of Derry which shows parishes. districts or it may even be townlands. I am not sure which. As with many such copies not all of the text is readable. However 4 parishes/districts/townlands have be highlighted, and a note appended at the bottom of the page. This note says; "Reids resided in the districts marked before emigrating to New Zealand", 1831 Desertlyn 1858 Aughadowey 1866 Coleraine 1870 Clondemot I presume that because this page is associated with my family papers then the contents refer to my family, although the text does not specifically say this. A grandson of Michael and Margaret, MICHAEL REID the son of BERNARD REID born 1847 in Colraine, married AGNES LOUISE BARLOW in the Catholic Chapel of Mullahinch in the district of Aughadowey, Coleraine, County Derry Northern Ireland on Oct 20 1866. Agnes was born abt 1848-49 daughter of RICHARD BARLOW miller, mother unknown. Michael's father Bernard a shopkeeper and publican is the only record I have of family for Michael and Margaret. Please tell me if you can what I should or could make of this? Regards Greg in Raumati New Zealand

Hello List I am a new lister and this is my first posting to the list. I am seeking Some Kind Soul who has a little time and may be willing to help me in any way to find some trace of my ggg.grandparents MICHAEL REID & MARGARET BARLOW. MICHAEL and MARGARET were married before 1819. This is the year of birth for their son BERNARD. I have this information from Bernard's death records in New Zealand. The place of marriage is County Derry Northern Ireland which is very little to go on I am afraid. I do not know of any other children to this marriage. BERNARD REID married MARY (O)RIELLY abt 1838/43. My source records are unclear on this point. This marriage took place in County Derry. I have seven known children to this marriage. Bernard, Mary, their seven children and nine grand children migrated to New Zealand on three ships during 1874 and 1875. Regards to all Greg in Raumati New Zealand

Researching Reid's in County Armagh, IRE. My James Reid married Agnes Livingston (Rooney-she was a widow, so she used this name as well) in November 1853 in the Mullaghbrack (sp?) Parish in County Armagh. James' father was William Reid. Agnes' father was Robert Livingston. I would be interested in speaking with ANYONE researching these lines. I am at a brick wall.
