REID/BARCLAY - Montgreenan
My gggrandfather John REID married Mary BARCLAY at Paisley in 1845 and was a flour miller at Montgreenan.Three children were born there, William, Janet & Elizabeth. The family migrated to Tasmania (Australia) in 1855. Does anyone have knowledge or records of MONTGREENAN/REID/BARCLAY mid 19th century. The family also had links to Fenwick.
