John Stewart & Christy Robertson
« on: Friday 10 April 09 14:09 UTC (UK) »
John Stewart was born in 1803 Blair Atholl according to his Death Record in Canada. He married Christy Robertson on November 28 1841 in Dull, Perthshire and I believe I have found her in the 1841 census with her parents Derald (Donald?) and Margaret living in Kinardochy. The marriage record lists John's residence as Tophorese which I believe was on the south shore of Loch Tummel and Christy's residence as Kinardochy. I have found the family in the 1851 census on Foss Farm where John is listed as the Gameskeeper. They emigrated to Canada about 1859 and settled at White Lake, Renfrew County, Ontario. Their children were Margaret (1842), James (1844), Isabella (1846), Catherine (1848), Donald Robertson (1850), John George (1854) and Robert Menzies (1857) all born in Dull, Perthshire and Alexander George was born in 1860 after emigrating to Canada.
I have been unable to decipher John's parentage. If they followed tradition, I believe the parents may have been James and Isabella. So far, I have been unable to definitively locate him in the earlier census records. Any help or hints to assist in doing so would be appreciated.
