	Alexander Reid is a very popular name in Scotland You really need more info Could easily post 50+ - although not found one born in Argyle(sp?)

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 12,339 Send Message	This one fits the bill apart from the fact he's not born in Campbelltown. Do you have any more information about him? Sauchie is in Clackmannanshire. Some children were born in Torryburn, Fife but none in Argyll. I have no idea what a housebreaker was....I'm sure it must be something very different from today's definition! 1901 Scotland Census about Angus Reid Name: Angus Reid Age: 7 month Estimated Birth Year: abt 1900 Relationship: Son Father's Name: Alexander Mother's Name: Elizabeth Gender: Male Where born: Clackmannan, Clackmshire Registration Number: 466 Registration district: Clackmannan Civil parish: Clackmannan County: Clackmannanshire Address: No 4 Heather House ED: 3 Household schedule number: 9 Line: 16 Roll: CSSCT1901_152 Household Members: Name Age Alexander Reid 38 house breaker Elizabeth Reid 36 b St Ninians Elizabeth J Reid 17 Mary Reid 14 Margaret Reid 12 Catherine Reid 10 Alexander Reid 8 James Reid 6 John Reid 5 Helen Reid 3 Angus Reid 7 month
