REID Family - Osprey, Proton & Artemesia Twps., Grey Co.

Seeking the earlier history of the John Reid family that came to Grey County in the 1850's.
JOHN REID was born circa 1800 in Ireland and died between 1882 - 1891 in Artemesia Township, Grey County.
He married MARGARET ?, who was also born in Ireland circa 1800 and died 1880 in Artemesia Township, Grey County.
They had one known son, THOMAS REID, born circa 1828 in Ireland and died 1891 in Artemesia Township, Grey County. He married SARAH IRWIN in 1858 in Artemesia Township.
These families resided in Osprey, Proton, and Artemesia Townships throughout their lifetime. I am seeking the maiden name of John Reid's wife, Margaret. Also, any other possible children they might have had, other than the Thomas Reid mentioned above. Lastly, I suspect that this family immigrated to Canada around 1848, so I am also trying to determine this family's residence in Ontario prior to moving up to Grey County.
