Stewart - agricultural labourer to druggist...is this his entry?
amazingly so Monica by heart skipped a beat as soon as I saw the word 'Kirriemuir' let alone his brother Robert's details. The inventory from 1852 is very exact down to counting the spoons! Euphemia, Stewart's wife also leaves a will - it's on my list. Interesting how Stewart upped his age maybe to put it a bit more in line with his wife's!
If that's Anne in Australia
(evidence is a bit scant from what I've been able to gleen and I don't like the naming of the children) that leaves Betty and David. At SP I searched 1833(+- 5) year for David Fearn (variants) - there are not that many - I'll see if I can eliminate some of them through the census - I've spent my monthly allowance already so I'd best whittle them down a bit
.
The David Fearn living Newtyle - married to Margaret White is the son of William (potential brother of James married to Ann Gall). None of the William Fearn /Jean Lindsay children use the name David.
Except for Helen the family seem to have decamped for Glasgow or left the country.
Betty - did notice Robert called his 2nd daughter Betty born abt 1853 wonder if was after his sister? Perhaps she died young like her brother Stewart?
