Thanks Christopher,

I hadn't considered 'Stewart' as a family surname and Yes! it does appear many times through the family even my husbands brother has it as a second name. Another road to travel down on!

Hello Joe,

Wow! What can I say, you have made my Christmas by uncovering some family data for me that I had been thinking was impossible to find. It proves all things come to those who wait  :)

It does appear to be my family I am researching. I always thought there must have been other children beside John b 1830. John Wright ( my Great Grandfather) married in Glasgow in 1854 & came out to New Zealand with his wife and 5 children in 1865.

Thanks again.
Have a Merry Christmas

Thanks Ros,

I have seen the information on the IGI but have never been able to trace the woman who put the family in, she obviously ties in somewhere but no-one knows of her. The dates are correct for Agnes's death.

Andrew Lindsay b 1 Feb 1834 Donegal .........a man of mystery disappeared into the bush in 1878 in New Zealand  no death recorded and never seen again.

His birth date was from a family bible, how can I trace a line on this man?

He married Elizabeth Elliot in Paisley Scotland 29-Jun 1855 and had 4 children

Stewart 1857, Robert 1859, Elizabeth 1862 and Andrew 1864.

His wife died after they immigrated to New Zealand and he remarried in 1872 and had a further 5 children!

James Stewart, William John, George, Alexander Stewart, and Mary Amelia. His second wife then died and he disappeared forever.

Any suggestions very welcome.
