I've got as far as Elizabeth Ogilvy b. 1794 Kirriemuir, and married William Reid 6th Jan 1827, in Meigle. I know nothing of William Reid, other than he was a weaver, and must have died before the 1841 Census, as Elizabeth is shown as widow. She eventually lives with son James Reid and wife Isabella (nee Millar)and family, until her death?
Any clues or help with William or Elizabeth gratefully received! Thanks
