Doug, my name is Sherry Bonneau and I too am researching my Reid line. It stems from my mother's side of the family. My grandfather, Wilfred Herbert Norman Reid was born in July 09 1909 in Winnipeg Manitoba. He is the son of Rebecca Reid(McGavin of Paisley Ontario, born 1870), and William Henry Reid ( born 27 Feb. 1860). We believe William is the son of Thomas Reid who is the son of Joseph Reid Jr. from Co Tyrone Ireland. He is also the son of Joseph Reid who fought in the Battle of Waterloo. Joseph was given a parcel of land in Co Tyrone for his service in the battle. He then gave it to his son Joseph Jr. (born 1778). Joseph Jr. married Mary Buchannan and some time later they immigrated to Canada after selling their farm to Lord Jarvis. Joseph and Mary had a son Thomas Reid who married Ann Jane Hunter, and these are William's parents. If this is the right William , then he was married to Emma grills before he married Rebecca McGavin in Winnipeg on 24 November 1908. Your information sounds so familiar, but going through the information I have I can't seem to find your names. I will keep checking as I have two books to go through. BIG BOOKS! Also if any of my information sounds familiar to you I would love to hear back from you. My McGavins are from Scotland then cam to Canada and settled in Ontario, Paisley is one of the areas. Some of them went to Toronto as they were Doctors. any idea how I can locate any information on them (the doctors)? Cheers Sherry from sunny BC
