Life
He was the fourth son, by his first marriage, of Andrew Reid of Barnet, a Scottish brewer in London.[2]
Reid was educated at Charterhouse School, leaving in 1810.[3] He matriculated in 1813 at University College, Oxford, graduating B.A. in 1817, M.A. in 1822.[4] He joined the 2nd Regiment of Life Guards in 1818 as an ensign, rising through the ranks to lieutenant-colonel in 1832. He retired on half-pay in 1845.[5]
Reid was elected Conservative Member of Parliament for Windsor at a by-election in 1845—caused by the death of John Ramsbottom—and held the seat until his own death in 1852.[6]
