I'm researching my Reid ancestors and came across some new information recently. Excerpt from the 1871 Ontario, Canada census, District: TORONTO WEST (46), Sub-district: St. Andrew's Ward (B), Division: 2 Page: 18, Microfilm reel: C-9970, Reference: RG31 — Statistics Canada: REID, Joseph, Male, Age 68, Place of birth: Ireland, Religion: Presbyterian, Origin: Ireland, Labourer, Widower REID, Maria, Female, Age 21, Place of birth: Ontario, Religion: Presbyterian, Origin: Ireland, Milliner REID, Margret [sic], Female, Age 20, Place of birth: Ontario, Religion: Presbyterian, Origin: Ireland REID, Sarah, Female, Age 18, Place of birth: Ontario, Religion: Presbyterian, Origin: Ireland REID, Josephine, Female, Age 12, Place of birth: Ontario, Religion: Presbyterian, Origin: Ireland Margaret [written as Margret] is a great-grandmother. She married George Porteous in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1874, and died - presumably following complications from childbirth in Dundas, Ontario, Canada in May, 1888. Thanks in advance to anyone who might have some information as to this family's background and/or descendants...

I'm in complete agreement with Mary Jo Martin's comments about providing full location information (and I try not to slip up too often)!
