None of my family came from or lived in Ireland and therefore I have no experience in doing research related to Ireland. (I believe Irish research is more difficult than scottish research also) Since you don't even have a county for the marriage of Anna Reid and few records after 1900, all I can suggest is that you search the censuses for 1861, 71, 81 for John and Anna. But without a county, Jees, good luck - Ontario is huge.... Perhaps someone with Irish research experience might be able to help out here... Sorry, Bob F.
