Robert Reid was the son of John Reid of St Cuthbert's parish in Edinburgh, and was born in 1808. On 18 November 1830 he married, in Kirkcaldy, Catherine Lambert, daughter of Andrew Lambert, weaver in Linktown. His occupation at that time is given as bookbinder. He possibly came to Leven because of the death in February 1834 of John Elder, Pastor of the Congregational Chapel in Leven also acted as librarian, bookseller and stationer. In 1852 he was recorded as bookseller, stationer, printer, sub-distributor of stamps and circulating library. He went bankrupt in August 1854, and he and his family emigrated to Australia. Unfortunately, about 1000 miles out of Melbourne, the ship sprung a leak, and everyone had to take turns at the pumps. He survived the ship's arrival in Melbourne only six weeks, dying on 3 June 1855.

Port Phillip Jun 1864 from British Port, passengers: Parents John aged 31 and Mary A aged 30, Children William, aged 6; Mary, aged 4, Louisa, aged 3; Henry, aged 2; and baby Agnes.

The Public Records Office database records the 1961 voyage as 'Empress of the Sea' and the 1864 and onward voyages were 'Empress of the Seas' (plural). The latter ship was an extreme clipper built by Donald Mackay and destroyed in 1861 as noted below. It could not have made the 1864 voyage yet that is how it is recorded in the PRO database. 'Empress of the Sea' was a smaller 1,243 tons wooden ship fastened with iron bolts and also owned by the famous Black Ball line of Liverpool. She was built in 1863 at Hilyard in New Brunswick and measured 57.9m long with an 11.9m beam (189.8' long, 39.2' beam, holds 23.7' deep). 'Empress' sailed the Liverpool to Melbourne line and her maiden voyage on that run was probably in 1864, with the Reid's onboard, under Capt Davis. When the owners of the shipping line, James Baines & Co, were in financial troubles in the 1860s, Capt. Thomas Williams bought some of the old wooden ships from them, including 'Empress of the Sea' in 1866, which he sold in 1871. Capt. Williams of Parciau, Criccieth and Liverpool, was formerly Master then Marine Superintendant with the Black Ball Line.

'Empress of the Seas' James Baines & Co purchased this large extreme clipper built by Donald Mackay in September 1860 from Wilson & Sons of Baltimore. She soon joined the Black Ball fleet on the Liverpool-Melbourne run. On her second voyage, she made a phenomenally fast passage to Melbourne in 66 1/2 days. One source says she was anchored off Port Phillip at the quarantine station at Port Nepean waiting for the morning tide of December 19, 1861 to begin the homeward passage, when a fire in the fore hold broke out that destroyed her. Mackay also built 'Sovereign of the Sea's and 'Champion of the Seas'.

[38] 'Merrilees Clan' website, 'Origin of our Surname'. 'Merrilees' was the registered name at birth of Reid's only daughter. Her name is recorded as 'Lucy Mireylees N Reid' on her death certificate. Lucy was her mother's name and the 'N' no doubt stood for 'Newman'. Merrilees/ Mireylees and derivatives is very rare as a first name. Its origin is a Scottish surname generally believed to be derived from the place name of a 12th-century estate and hamlet in West Lothian, near Edinburgh in Scotland. On a 1773 map of West Lothian, the name is printed as 'Myrey Lees' and John Black's 1830 map of Linlithgow shows 'Merrylees' on the south edge of 'Binns'. A row of old stone houses which remain on this site today are called 'Merrylees Cottages.' The name is believed to have arrived in Scotland from Norway. See also 'Notes on our Surname and its Variants' by Ronald Merrilees and the poem 'Meg Merrilies' by John Keats (1795 - 1821).

[56] 'Merrilees Clan Website' Online, Henry's mother, Mary Ann Mirilees, belongs to the Merrilees Clan MFA Tree #9. All of the Merrilees Family Tree branches in Australia and New Zealand are proven by DNA testing to be related through a common ancestor, currently identified by MFA research as James Mirrileyis (born abt 1610) who married Elspeth Blair in Ormiston in 1641. James was a blacksmith in Pencaitland, East Lothian. The first member of this family to go to New Zealand was Henry's sister 36-yr-old Agnes Reid in 1899. She was the fifth child born to Mary Ann Mireylees and Dr John Lambert Reid in Scotland before the family emigrated to Australia in 1864, where four other siblings were born. Agnes immigrated from Australia to Alexandra in Otago and married Kenneth McLeay Phin. Henry Newman Reid links to the Merrilees common ancestor through Robert Mireylees (abt 1780) and Euphemia Dunbar who married in Edinburgh, 15 March 1799.

The Robert Reid I am looking for would have been born in 1846 [1746?]. There are two Reid's in the First Fleet who are not convicts that I can find: Robinson Reid Carpenter HMS Supply; Reid H first mate Storeship Borrowdale. Now allowing for the difficulty of reading many old records that have been hand written both Reid's could fit the bill particularly Reid H as it would be easy to see a R as H. The first Reid is more problematical as it would be harder to fit Robert into Robinson. 17 Sep 2006: Robert Reid and his children and Edward and William Bates who married into the Reid family. Robert Reid lived at "Belmont" in the Balwyn/Deepdene area. Edward Bates at "Mileela" and was a partner in Bates Smart McCutcheon.

Email from Barbara Addie 24 Apr 2009, Barbara Addie wrote: To Ross Carpenter, I came across your site on ice sports when researching my family history. My Great-aunt was Lucy Marsden Reid, her brother was my Grandfather. I had found information on the Reid family; it is quite extensive and was chasing up the last child of Henry Newman and Lucy. Lucy Mireylees Reid. I have a copy of her mother's death certificate and saw that she was still living in Sydney. I have not been able to determine when she died and will continue looking. Just a small correction, Lucy Marsden's father was John RICH Marsden, not Richard. His mothers maiden name was Rich hence the continuance. I also agree with you that there are no descendants of Henry and Lucy as all the sons were unmarried and the daughter was still unmarried at the time of her mother's death. A remarkable family that has died out. Thank you for the informative site and I well remember the St.Moritz where my older brother and I would sometimes go for a leisurely glide around. Two of my brother's friends did play ice hockey but I did not see them play (I wasn't old enough to be allowed out, even with my brother). There used to be an ice rink at Ringwood that was closed down allegedly because the ice floor was sinking and therefore was a public danger. Who knows, perhaps the owners just wanted to sell the land.

[88] The Argus, 29 Sep 1917, p20. Part transcript: The third annual meeting of the Victorian branch of the Australasian Institute of Secretaries was held on Wednesday, the President (Mr A Thewlis) presiding. The annual report stated that the present membership was 328, as against 63 in December, 1914. The members attached to the Vctorian branch numbered 119, of whom 56 were fellows and 63 associates. The institute, which was the first to inaugurate special examinations for secretaries throughout the Commonwealth and New Zealand, thus setting a standard for the professional secretary, would shortly be the second largest institute of secretaries in the British Empire, both as regarded revenue and membership. The question of linking up the various branches was discussed, and it was decided to submit a motion to the next meeting of the council, having for its object the formation of a Federal body. Mr Arthur Thewlis was re-elected President, and Mr W T Charge was appointed a member of the council in place of Mr Harrison. At a conference of interstate delegates held on Friday, the following were elected on the Australasian council: – Mr A Thewlis (Vic.), president; Mr G T Clark (N.S.W.), vice-president; Mr G Joice (W.A.), hon. treasurer; Mr H.

[89] The Advertiser, Adelaide, SA, Wed 25 Jan 1911, p p 10-11. The Rev. John Reid, M.A., well-known in South Australia as an eloquent and brilliant preacher and lecturer, died last week. Mr. Reid was born at Leven, Fife shire, and educated at Newton College, and the Edinburgh University, and he arrived in Australia over 40 years ago. He was tutor to Lord Rosebery, and for number of years dramatic critic for a leading Scottish paper. He was lecturer for the Palestine Exploration Society, and lectured before Dean Stanley and other notable men at Oxford. For many years he was professor of church history and philosophy at the Congregational College for the Training of Ministers. He was one of the first and most widely known lecturers in connection with the University extension movements, both in Adelaide and Melbourne, his lectures on Shakespeare (on whose writings he was a foremost authority in Australia) created so much interest that he was despatched by the University extension committee to deliver courses of lectures on Shakespeare's plays in the leading country centres. Together with the late Professor Morris and the late Dr. Neild (says the "Argus"), he was one of the founders of the Melbourne Shakespeare Society, of which he was secretary for many years. He was also one of the trustees of the Melbourne Public Library, and occupied a seat on the council of the Working Men's College for some years. From his earliest days he took a very active part in literary work, acting as correspondent for a number of English papers and journals. He was a regular contributor to the Melbourne Periodical and for many years he was actively engaged in scholastic work. He was the elder and only brother of the late Mr. Robert Reid. He had lived in retirement for the last few years. He left a widow, three sons, and six daughters., Mr. W. E. Reid and Mr. H. Newman Reid are well-known Melbourne business men, and Mr. Edward Crichton Reid is a resident of Dunedin.

[90] Adelaide Advertiser, Mon 1 Jun 1903, p 10. Transcript: ICE AND COLD STORAGE COMPANY. Mr. Newman Reid, the general manager of the Adelaide lce and Cold Storage Company, which, for several seasons past has been shipping several thousands of carcases of frozen sheep and lambs, besides large quantities of rabbits, to London, showed a representative of The Advertiser over the premises at Light-square on Saturday morning. The large "Hercules" ammonia direct expansion 70-ton refrigerating machinery was working almost as smoothly and noiselessly as clock-work. It is intended shortly to enlarge the compressor from 70 to 85 tons refrigeration. The patentee of this machinery is Mr. C. A. MacDonald, a Scotchman, who went to America in early life and took a leading part in the erection of refrigerating machinery there. The works in Adelaide belong to him. Ninety per cent of the whole of the freezing machinery in Australasia consists of the patent plants supplied by this firm, which has also been erecting works in South Africa of a value of about £100,000. The company now intends expanding its business in Adelaide. It has secured the services of one of the most expert men in poultry matters from Victoria, and proposes shipping large quantities of first-quality birds to Europe. The poultry are "got up" in an attractive way before being placed in the cold chambers. Fish salerooms are to be established at Light-square, the services of Mr. J. Wiseman, who is well-known in this trade, having been secured. A cold storage room for the keeping of fish has been erected. The first-sale is to take place on Thursday next. On entering one of the rooms at Light square on Saturday 70 tons of ice was seen, and Mr. Reid said, "This is only our winter supply, and of course it is not nearly so large as the quantity we have in the summer." He added that ice was merely a by- product of the company, being made by a condensation of the steam used in driving the engine.

[92] Adelaide Advertiser, Tue 12 Mar 1907, p 8. Transcript: ALLEGED BREACH OF AGREEMENT. PROPRIETORS OF A SKATING RINK SUED. Melbourne. March 11. An action in relation to an alleged breach of agreement in connection with the refrigerating machinery business carried on at the Glaciarium was begun at the Banco Court to-day before the Chief Justice. The plaintiff was Charles Macdonald, and the defendants were Henry Newman Reid and the Melbourne Ice Skating and Refrigerating Company. The plaintiff, who was a manufacturer of machinery, carried on business in Sydney and Adelaide, and the defendant was an engineer in connection with the refrigerating machinery and cold storage. The plaintiff on March 3 entered into an agreement with the defendant Reid, under which the latter was to act as his general manager at a salary of £500 for the first year, £600 for the second year, and £750 for the third year, and was to be allowed his travelling expenses. An understanding was come to that it would be part ot the duty of the defendant to use his influence in promoting and assisting in the formation of syndicates or companies for ice refrigerating and cold storage purposes. One stipulation was that, such companies when formed should purchase the requisite machinery from the plaintiff, and that liberty should be reserved to the defendant to prepare the plans and specifications for such services. Reid was to receive 2,000 fully-paid up shares in the defendant company. Some 1,500 shares had been allotted him, and the other 500 shares were to be handed to him when he had complied with certain conditions. A declaration was sought by the plaintiff that the 2,000 shares were his (the plaintiff's) property, or that they were acquired bv Reid as trustee or agent for the plaintiff. The defence was that the agreement existed between plaintiff and defendant, who, however, denied that he was bound by it to give the whole of his time to the plaintiff's affairs. He was at liberty, he asserted, to devote a portion of his time and ability for his own benefit, and not as employee of the plaintiff in connection with the flotation of companies. The defendant said, it was allowable for him to receive for himself personal remuneration, either in money or in shares, for such promotion. The case stands part heard.

Adelaide Advertiser, Wed 27 Mar 1907, p 7. A SKATING-RINK CASE. BREACH OF AGREEMENT. Meboume, March 26. An action in relation to an alleged breach of agreement in connection with the refrigerating machinery business carried on at the Gladarium was concluded in the Banco Court to-day. The plaintiff Charles McDonald, and the defendant Henry Newman Reid, of the Melbourne Ice Skating and Refrigerating Company. The case for the plaintiff, a manufacturer of machinery, carrying on business in Sydney and Adelaide, was that he entered into an agreement with the defendant, Reid, under which the latter was to act as his general manager. It was part of the duty of the defendant to use his influence in promoting and assisting in the formation of syndicates or companies for ice refrigerating or cold storage purposes. During the time Reid was in the plaintiff's employ he assisted in the promotion of the Melbourne Ice Skating Company, and prepared plans and specifications for such purposes. Reid was to receive 2,000 fully-paid-up shares in the defendant company. A dedaration was sought that the shares in question were the plaintiff's property, or that they were acquired by Reid as trustee or agent for the plaintiff. The defendant denied that he was bound by his agreement to give the whole of his time to the plaintiff's affairs. The Chief Justice found that the plaintiff's view of the case was a right one. The defendant, at any rate, had not satisfied him that his version of the affair was correct. He therefore found for the plaintiff and ordered that the shares in question be given up to him.

Adelaide Advertiser, Wed 25 Sep 1907, p 7. THE GLACIARIUM SHARE CASE. Melbourne, September 24. In the High Court to-day, judgment was give on the appeal over the Glaciarium shares. In the original action, the plaintiff was Charles Macdonald, of Sydney and Adelaide, and the defendants were Henry Newman Reid and the Melbourne Ice Skating and Refrigeration Company. It was alleged that the plaintiff entered into an agreement with Reid, under which the latter was to act as general manager, and that it was part of Reid's duty to use his influence in promoting the formation of syndicates for ice refrigerating or cold storage purposes. During the time Reid was in the plaintiff's employ he assisted in the promotion of the Melbourne Ice Skating Company and prepared plans and specifications. Reid was to receive 2,000 fully paid-up shares and 1,500 were allotted to him. The plaintiff sought a declaration, that the shares were his property. The defence was that the plaintiff was at liberty to devote a portion of his time and abilities for his own benefit, and that he was entitled to keep the shares. The Chief Justice gave a verdict in favor of thel plaintiff, and the defendant appealed against that decision on the ground that it was against the evidence. The High Court gave judgment unanimously in favour of the appellants. The defendant's contention that he waa not bound to give the whole of his time to the plaintiff's affairs and that he could engage in other work was upheld. When Reid undertook the supervision and erection of a glaci arium he was, the court found, acting in a capacity other than that of a servant of the plaintiff, and he accepted the shares as remuneration for the work so performed. The decision was come to by the court that it was no part of the defendant's agreement with the plaintiff that he was to hand over the shares and the defendant was therefore entitled to hold them. The judgement of the court below was discharged.

Cleland, with Mr. H. A. Shierlaw, represented the Crown. Henry Newman Reid said that from 1902 to 1906 he managed the Light-square works ... He left permanently in 1906, and for the last three or four years he had stored at his own works in Melbourne large quantities of fruit. Roughly he had handled from 40,000 to 60,000 cases, of fruit each year for the last four years. He had handled thousands of cases of Duchess pears a year during the last three or four years, and the fruit had been handled solely on account of clients.

Mr Henry Newman Reid, manager of the Glaciarium, said up to the time the present demand was received he had not heard of any dissatisfaction shown by the three engine drivers employed at the works. He had not heard of any Inter-State competition amongst refrigerating companies prior to the case now before the court.
