Joe Reid married Jean Kennedy circa late 1920's.
They later had a daughter Agnes K. Reid.

Sorry this is so vague but they are names given to me by an elderly relative and we can not be more precise.

I also know that Agnes married a Ronald G. Cullum circa 1950.

I am hoping that someone can pull something out of the hat and help me with this semi-brickwall.
Thanks from Nala.

Andrew Thank you for what you have found out. I now know more than I did this morning !! Nala

There is an article on Agnes' wedding.

being Ronald George Cullum, son of Mrs. D. Cullum and the late Lieut. Cullum, R.N.. of The Cedars,” Diss, Norfolk, and Agnes Kennedy Reid, daughter Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Reid, of 21 Dickens Ave., Corsham. The Rev. A. Glen Smith officiated. Miss Ivy Knott was at the organ.

At Priory Street Baptist Church, bridesmaids were Misses Jacqueline Ling and Joy Sokol. Matron of Honour was Mrs A Gaskell. Best man was Mr J A Reid, brother of the bride. Their future home was to be in Harrow.

Here is an article about Joseph A Reid.

He was described as being 'critically ill.' The explosion was at the Loch Sloy hydro-electric scheme near Ben Vorlich.

Looking at that article, I think this might be the birth of Joseph, Agnes father

Bit of speculation.

Could this be marriage of jeans parents? Would explain where the Kennedy came from.

That looks very likely Andrew. Here is another press cutting, it at least proves you have the correct middle name for Joseph.

That's looks good Alviegal!

Andy

You're up late Andy! I'm just away to bed now. Night, night. :-) :-)

Good Morning to Alviegal and Andrew,

I want to thank you both for the incredible information you have found and posted for me. I have got up early so that I can piece it together.

I do know a lot more now and feel I can progress with this branch of the Family Tree. You have given me many details.

Addresses and some names "ring bells" with some of our older generation.

Once again Thank you. Regards Nala.

Thank you Nala. It's always so gratifying when you hear of 'the older generation' and the memories that are triggered when they hear long forgotten names and addresses. That's one of the reasons so many of us enjoy the search for all these details. :-D :-D
