Thank you so much for your help. I am interested in finding out about the children of
David and Gray Reid and possibly the next generation. I really appreciate everything that you have sent. I am quite surprised to find that so many of my ancestors came to Australia .Plenty to keep me busy for a while
Thanks

Hi, Kevynne.

When you say "family", do you mean David and Gray's ancestors, or their children?

As you've given an exact year for Gray's birth, I assume you have her birth record with her parents' names?

19/06/1777 DAVIDSON GRAY
THOMAS DAVIDSON/MARY NISBET FR2027 (FR2027)
F LEITH SOUTH EDINBURGH CITY CITY/MIDLOTHIAN 692/02 0060 0522


David and Gray's marriage:

01/03/1798 REID DAVID
GRAY /DAVIDSON FR550 (FR550) M LEITH SOUTH EDINBURGH CITY CITY/MIDLOTHIAN 692/02 0110 0234
