    Notes:

    There is a 1970 death (see below) for a Euphemia Reith aged 96 which may or may not be the same person. The entry gives her age as 96 but given she was born in 1891 she would have been about 79. Without ordering the certificate it's impossible to establish anything further because she was umarried in 1932 and no marriage entry can be found.

    Notes:

    Unable to confirm a couple of things about this William Reith and the number of children to whom he was the father.

He farmed at Floors, Cookney.
