As I have explained on your thread re. your Nan - Annie Louisa Stewart b.1915 - her Mum Elizabeth had just one brother - he was indeed named Thomas John but was born prior to the marriage of his parents and registered in 1882 under his mothers maiden name of 'Stitt' - after his parents marriage he became Stewart.

So, he would therefore be your 2 x gt. uncle, if I've worked it out correctly and eventually raised your Nan!

A bit disconcerting for us trying to help you - you said in your other thread you'd no idea where in Dumfriesshire they came from when apparently you did.   Although lived in Greenbrae both he and Elizabeth were born in Closeburn.
