Reeds of Ruardean (General)
I am trying to trace the Reeds of Ruardean. Firstly a Mary Ann Reed b 1847 m 29.7.1866 George Sleaman b 1846 can find Mary Ann in census' but where is George
Secondly Maria Reed b 1863 been suggested she may have married a John Watkins
and thirdly a Maria Reed b1852 suggested she married 14.6.1868 to a John Meek
can anyone confirm this or provide any info, it would be much appreciated.

REED / MEEK marriage
Many thanks for the information it was most helpful.
I made an error in the names it was Emma Reed b 1863 who possibly married a John Watkins. As you say Mary Ann is noted as married in the 1881 census but there is no sign of them ever having lived together at all she was either at home with her parents or as in the 1881 working for her b-in-law. Thanks again
