Hi, I have just started doing research on other members of my Reid Family,I will have a good look at the info I have and get back to you if there's a connection or not.
But it does seem strange,my Reids were from around Casino & 2? went back to NZ when they where old enough.I have a contact in NZ as well,so will chase that train of thought up as well.
If you havn't already tried,give NSW Birth Death Marriages a look,you may be able to get a copy of certificates if that helps.
