Christina McIntyre was my great grandmother and I have been researching her for many years - if Liviani would like to pm me I may have some further information for her - incidentally my aunt married into the Sherett family so would be interested to chat if possible.

Kind regards

Hi Jason

Nice to hear from you, unfortunately my uncle died two months ago being the last of nine brothers, there is a sister still alive although I doubt if she knows anything. In the days after the funeral I spent some time around the Dalguise/Logierait area trying to locate the farm /cottage known as Glenalbert and eventually found it and had a chat with the owners daughter. Unfortunately she did  not know much of its history re the Stewarts, as I am sure you are aware the Stewarts were well established in the area up as far as Blair Atholl across to the Aberfeldy area and down to Caputh - also where mention is made of Dunkeld in records it seems to be the Diocese of Dunkeld they are referring to not the village of Dunkeld. There seems to have been two branches of the Stewarts one either side of the Tay valley and I think this is where a lot of the problems arise with common names. I have a cousin who lives nearby who has recently become interested in FH and hopefully we will be able to dig a bit deeper as time permits.

Sorry I could not answer your question however will update this thread as and when more information becomes available.

Kind regards

Grant

Evening all - wonder if anybody had picked up my previous posting from 23 Nov '13 regarding the Grizzel/Grace Stewart thread. Would be interested in a chat about the Stewarts, my 94 year old uncle ( Helen Ann Lairds son) has some distant memories of an Auntie Bell who lived above old Blair, he used to stay with occasionally - would like to dig a bit further with him to see if he has any further memories.

Kind regards

Evening Monica

A question! I posted a query on the site in November 2013 and was hoping for a reply but to no avail. I am a new member and I have to make three postings prior to making a PM which I quite understand, however it looks as if all contributors have gone dormant! Is there anyway that they can be given a "nudge" in the direction of these pages to review them and hopefully start the ball rolling again!

I was brought up in Dunkeld and still have family locally who are also interested in the family history and would possibly be able to investigate any queries.

Appreciate this is a long shot but thought it was worth asking!

Kind regards

Good evening all

Discovered your site last week and have been trying to get my head round the Stewart line - the reason being that my grandmother was Helen Ann Stewart b.1886 Caputh d. 1940 Dunkeld, her parents were John Stewart b.1855 Little Dunkeld and Helen Ann Laird b.1855 d. 1929.

Attached is a family photo of three Stewart generations round about the time my grandmother got married - as this is a first post I will wait and see what the response is! I have concentrated on the other lines in the family over the last twenty years as true to what someone has said in the posts Dunkeld and surrounding areas are a Stewart nightmare for those chasing their forefathers - however its now time to bite the bullet.

Hopefully I may be able to contribute to the discussion in the future!

Kind regards to all
