Hi Glenn,
I have found out where the Reids are buried for you
They are all buried in the Church of England Area, Section A, grave 97, but there is no headstone on the grave.

George Withey Reid,buried 5.11.1934, aged 83
George Reid,buried 5.6.1901, aged 25 (Died at Ovens District Hospital)
Marjory Reid,buried 20.1.1897 aged 5 months (Died at Reids Creek)
Amy Reid, buried 11.2.1895, aged 5 weeks
Verney Reid,buried 22.9.1890 (not 1897), aged 11 months.

John George Devery, aged 72, was buried on 29.6.1983, in the Multidenominational Area, grave 67. He died at Mayday Hills Hospital.

John Reid was not buried with the others, but only two graves away - grave 95. He was buried on 4.2.1878 aged 16 weeks. As with the others, there is no headstone on his grave.

Thanks for that Ally

HI there, i havent looked into the Dyson connection with my family but my great-grandmother was Anne Withey Reid. I still live in Wangaratta and are keen to put some of this history together. Would love some help. There were a number of photos (of the Reids) my mother had but were 'lost' when M (Cheeseman) Corrigan died a few years ago. My grandmother Phylis Alice Devery married John 'Jack' Joseph Wellington. The Wellingtons were also pioneers in the area. I have some information that may be of interest. Please respond, Cheers Cath

Hi Cath
l would love to have some info on any family members Anne Withey Reid was my greatgrand mothers sister Jessie Griffths Reid she married George Swinburn Dyson he came from Wangaratta your greatgrand mother was born in beechworth like the rest of the Reids.Anne married a John George Devery in 1909 is that right all the Reids are buried Beechworth cemetry so is John Devery .great to hear from you Cath Glenn

Hi Cath
wondering whether you got my last email because l would love to know anything that l can find about relo's up that way Reids and Dysons so if you have any photo's or anything l would be greatful to know Glenn

Hi Glenn, apologies i didnt get back to you sooner. I wasnt expecting such a speedy response. I think it would be super if we could catch up so that it is easier to make connections and share info. You are clearly very passionate about your geneology and have much to share. I did see the photos of jessie...... very cool. Do you have others? i know where i can find a few pics(with the corrigans .. they have a photo of jack reid- anne's brother i believe), in fact they have more info on the Reids. I can also check in the photos my older sister is minding. The really important ones i believe are lost to us though. It might be easier to keep in touch with me via petalpower007@hotmail.com, i check my emails everyday. look forward to hearing from you soon, cheers Cath

Hi Cath
that would be great,to catch up my mum lives in Wodonga and l'll be up there for a few days in December and over Xmas so l'll drop you a line and see if you have the time Cath Glenn
