Unknown Reed and Unknown Reed (nee Unknown) of Upottery, Devon

Home

UNKNOWN and UNKNOWN REED (nee UNKNOWN ) some time of Upottery, Devon. Presumably Lydia is connected with the well established Reed families which live at Upottery to the present day. Annoyingly I can't find a baptism for her. She wasn't baptised at Upottery.
