Hi I have just recently discovered that two of my ancestors left Scotland for New Zealand. Peter REID b 1837 Cannongate and his sister Jane REID b. 1828 Cannongate, their parents were David and Isabella REID. What I have been able to piece together through the various records is that sometime between 1861 and 1871 they immigrated to New Zealand. Jane somewhere along the line married Alexander Johns but I don't know if this happened in Scotland or New Zealand. so far I have not been able to locate any record of this marriage in the Scotlands People. What I would love is for someone to wave a magic wand and says "yep they moved on such and such date on the such and such boat and went with other family members" I realise this maybe impossible but I do hold hope. If anyone is able to direct me where to look it would be wonderful. Its all exciting finding relatives moving around the world, so hopefully someone would be able to help me track them down.

Colleen Scotlands People has the record of a marriage between Jane Reid and Alexander Johnston in St Cuthbert's Parish, Edinburgh on 17/7/1848 (probably date of proclamation of banns). St Cuthbert's Records are quite informative - usually give name and occupation of wife's father.

This marriage is on the St. Cuthbert's film I've been doing lookups in. Here are the details : Page dated at the top : 17 July, 1848 [caps mine] Alexander JOHNSTON, Wright residing in #4 Sciennes and Jane REID residing in #1 High Park both in this Parish, daughter of David REID, Wright there, have been 3 several times duly and regularly proclaimed in the Parish church of St. Cuthberts in order to Marriage and no objections offered.....Married [no further data entered, just 3 lines of blank space]. This lack of a marriage date indicates the marriage took place in another parish, it was also recorded here as Banns were proclaimed in both places. Sciennes is in the Edinburgh area, perhaps that was the actual site of the marriage ? Since there is no actual date for the marriage in these records, the transcribers used the date at the top of the page which was 17 July, 1848. Every page had a date, all being Sundays. These marriage banns [and marriage dates later added] were entered taking as many pages as needed [all with 17 July as a heading] until the next Sunday arrived and a new date was recorded, 24th July, 1848. Then more entries until the next Sunday, July 31 etc, etc. Meg Greenwood / Oklahoma USA ========================= 45plus commander wrote: > Hi Rhoda, ta for that I will check them out during the week. > Cheers colleen > ======================== > > From: CandROverson <overson12@btinternet.com> > To: sct-edinburgh@rootsweb.com > Sent: Saturday, 15 November, 2008 11:56:30 AM > Subject: Re: [SCT-EDINBURGH] REID from Midlothian > > Colleen Scotlands People has the record of a marriage between Jane Reid and > Alexander Johnston in St Cuthbert's Parish, Edinburgh on 17/7/1848 (probably > date of proclamation of banns).
