Alexander STEWART/Letterkenny

[cupcake]

I am trying to find any information on a Alexander Stewart, who was married to Christinna Norris.

All I have is Alexander was a farmer wife Christinna. The had a son Alexander Edwin STEWART b. 20/02/1843 in Letterkenny, Co Donegal, Ireland. He immigrated to Australia about 1860.

Christinna Stewart went to Australia after her husband Alexander died?? we think to be with her sons. Christinna died 1885 about 7 years after she arrived in Australia.

Any information on Alexander & Christinna would be very much appreciated.

Hi.

Alexander Edwin Stewart is my great grandfather. The marriage certificate between him and Helen (Ellen) Kennedy (married 9/2/1869) gives his mother's name as Ann Norris, not Christinna. The certificate shows his father as Alexander Stewart.

The death certificate for Alexander Edwin Stewart (died 3/5/1900) states he had been in Australia about 40 years (Victoria then Queensland) so that would put his arrival around 1860.

Some of the Stewarts had been around Letterkenny and other parts of Donegal since the early 1600s when they first came from Scotland so a Stewart born in Letterkenny might be only a distant relative of Alexander Stewart.

Thank you for all the information.

It was 6 years ago I posted and at the moment trying to remember the connection with the Stewart's. Have been doing lots of family research in this time.
