If you're talking about John Reid Snr KEOWN and Susan Mary KENNEDY I have some info. I'm descended from one of Susan's brothers. I have John's Parents as James "John" KEOWN (1829- ?) and Eliza Jane REID (?-1855). Nothing further back for KEOWNs I'm afraid !

For Susan I have parents William KENNEDY (abt 1806-1866) and Elizabeth (Eliza or Betty) OWENS (2 Jan 1816-15 Feb 1855), William's parents James KENNEDY and Barbara GLENDENNING (1775-?) and Bessie's parents Hugh OWENS and ? THOMPSON.

Not much I'm afraid.
