I was born near Pomeroy in Co. Tyrone in 1941, I have lived in England for 60 years. I am hoping to get in email contact with someone from a distant branch of our family.
They are the Reid family from the Pomeroy area, you see my mother was Hannah Trimble and Hamilton Trimble married a Annie Reid at Pomeroy in about 1906.

Here’s Hamilton Trimble and Annie Reid’s marriage in 1905. They married in Pomeroy Presbyterian. Tradition was to marry in the bride’s church so that may be the Reid family church.
The bride lived in Lurganeden. This is probably her in the 1901 census:

There were 3 Reid farms in Lurganeden in 1901, beside each other. Those farms today look to be on the modern Lurganeden Rd. One of them now looks to be Anderson Agriculture 44 Lurganeden Rd, Pomeroy, BT70 2TS.
You could try contacting Anderson Agri and/or Pomeroy Presbyterian church to see if they can put you in touch with any Reids.
