Numerous Reekie surnames are listed - in particular there is a Harry Reekie named, waggon builder - wonder if this is ' Henry Reekie born 1900' as on marriage certificate in 1913 he lists his occupation as railway wagon wright journeyman - so is a waggon builder the same thing ?, also the address for this Harry Reekie is given as 27 Canal Street, which is given by H. Reekie (stepson) on his stepmother's death certificate.
