Admiral Mountbatten/trawler out of Aberdeen

[perseus]

Looking for help with tracing the captain of this vessel early 1900s. I believe his name was John or James Reid. He may have been born in Buckie.

Hi Notanother miner

I did find a photo of the boat. I need to consult my 'source'. It may well be that my dates are well off target. Thanks.

Haven't yet consulted my source but will do so when I can.

Mountbattern, especialy with the Admiral bit added would seem to hint at the Royal Mountbattern which only came into being in I think 1915. As you probably will know the royal family had a German name at the start of WW1 & one of the Royal family was a serving naval officer whome public opinion forced Him to give up. possibly then you should think of a time after say 1915 with regards to the photo, just a thought.

Hi Border

I am doing some research for someone from Fraserburgh. The Reid connection is rather problematic as the Isabella Reid I am looking for cannot be found, try as I might. I have a marriage in 1915 and I can follow the family from there. However I cannot find Isabella with parents James Reid & Jessie Noble. Looking for other combinations. We have decided she may have born Jessie Noble but agian, all up in the air. It has been suggested that there may be a connection to a John or James Reid & the Admiral Mountbatten. So perhaps 'your' Jock is the very man. Do any of the names mean anything to you?

There was also a mention of India...not very helpful, but do you know of a connection?

This may all be pie in the sky, but here's hoping it isn't!
I'd love a photo so that I could forward it to my contact.

If you want to send me a private message I'll let you have my email address.

Cheers for now

hello perseus,

I have a copy of John aka Jock Reid's Birth Certificate. His father's name was James George Reid, mother Susan Reid nee Murray.
I have photographs of Jock/John I can scan you if like - I can do this next week, of course you would have to give me your e-mail address as there are a few photographs. Jock was born 10 September 1910.

According to my mother, Jock had a brother James who owned Kennedy's Bakery in Aberdeen which has now changed to J. Ross Baker - defenitely a connection with this bakers and there was a Jessie which we are unclear if she was Jame's wife or Jame's Sister.
jock s first wife died ,but he had a daughter and they stayed at birkhall parade ,mastrick in aberdeen. India? cant recall .

I forgot to say his father was a Fisherman which might be relevant to the 1900's.

Hi Border

Hi border
Any luck with those photos ?
I did leave my email address in your Private Messages.
All the info I gahered to date is now with the family in Fraserburgh, so I guess they'll be ploughing through it.
It would be great if we could make a breakthrough with the Reids.
Cheers.
Incidenty I just had a couple of rowies from Aberdeen. My daughter in law always brings some back when she visits her family. I do miss them, delicious but so bad for you!
I worked in Castlegate and there is a little baker which was just under the office. Rowies & stovies were so much the order of the day at lunchtimes.
