John Stewart Selkirk or Selkirkshire c1740
« on: Monday 11 February 08 21:29 UTC (UK) »

Hi

I am after further info on my gggggggrandfather John Stewart born in Selkirkshire in 1735-1740 please?

His place of origin is given in his childrens baptism records.

John Stewart married Patience Brown in 1798 in County Durham England, and the baptisms records of his children born in 1798, 1800 and 1803 say that he was originally a native of Selkirk, Scotland but dont know if that meant Selkirk itself or Selkirkshire. He died aged 80 in 1815 so born c1735 meaning that he was probably married nefore his 1789 wedding. He was a skinner by trade and a tanner by his death.

Thanks

Hi Ben,

I did a quick search on SP and there appears to be only one John Stewart registered as having been born / baptised from 1730 to 1740

John Stewart 19/2/1733 to William Stewart in the Parish of Yarrow, Selkirk
No mothers name given

GROS reference 799/000 010 0064

I should have said, I restricted my search to Selkirk(shire)

Hi Dave

Thanks for that as that could very well be a match as my John had a son William who could have been named after his grandfather. The age is very similar as well

cooms
In yarrow Kirkyard there is a James Stewart who died at old Lewinshope Yarrow on 13-4-1855 aged 83 (Born 1772)
On the headstone there are Fletchers,Bapties Shortredes and Scotts.

Having died in 1855 you may actually get his deach cert on SP as they start 1855
