LindainHerriotCountry...Thank you so much indeed....!!

I was trying to establish if there was a familial connection as ASR's son married a girl whose mothers maiden name was Reay (same area) but the Portsmouth Birth for the father William negates the possibility....

Thank You

Many thanks ....That may make a difference !!
Unfortunately it is a case of sorting all the Willy's out.. the Reay families seemed to have more than their fair share of them..!

Alfred Seymour Reay's service records are on Ancestry. If you don't have them then I can collate them into a document and send to you.

He married Harriet Elizabeth Wilkinson on 30 Nov 1916 at the Baptist Chapel in North Shields.
