Donald Stewart married Janet Stewart in Kilmonivaig on 4 Mar 1811. Donald died at Glenfintaig, near Spean Bridge in 1855. This marriage was his second and produced 10 children, 3 died at a young age. His first marriage was to Margaret Kennedy in Laggan parish which produced 2 children. The 1885 death records were superb with their extra info!
On the 1841 census, it seems possible that grand-dau Mary may be son Ewen's child by his first marriage to Sicely McKinnon in 1839. Mary is still with Donald in the 1851 census, along with his daughter Janet. Ewen later married Isabella MacDonald in 1844 and they lived on the north shore of Loch Arkaig in Kilmallie until their deaths (Ewen in 1909 and Isabella in 1900). It is this Isabella who is recorded on the 1851 census with 3 of her children - Clementina, Angus and Donald. Donald and Janet's son Alexander (9th child, 4th son) is believed to have married Ann Cameron at Corpach in 1848.
Donald's parents were John Stewart and Christian MacPherson, with Donald believed to be their first child in 1780 in Laggan parish. It seems they may have had 9 children, but still early days in researching this family.
