Death - James Stewart

[MonicaL]

From www.nas.gov.uk/onlineCatalogue/:

Joseph Stewart, alias Goodwin, brother of James Stewart Not called. Note: See also AD2/19/103-112; AD2/19/165-168; AD2/19/259-266

Date: 21 Feb 1848

Was Joseph a brother of James Snr.? Not sure how this can be confirmed as likely James Snr died pre the start of official registration to be able to confirm his parents' names.

What names do you have for Joseph's parents from his Australian records?

I cannot see a Joseph Stewart/Stuart in the 1841 census in Midlothian area that could fit but there is this entry in 1841 which may well be Joseph due to the Goodwin name:

James Goodwin 30, Gin & Beer Brewer b. Scotland
Eliza Goodwin 25 b. Scotland
Joseph Goodwin 10
James Goodwin 7
Eliza Alexander 8

Address: Shakespeare Square 7, Edinburgh

The use of two surnames in Joseph's trial paeprs may simply mean that his mother remarried and Joseph was known under two surnames perhaps.

I have seen the trees on Ancestry for Joseph, with parents John Armour Stewart and Janet McNaughton  Not sure if we can connect him or these parents to the James who married a Margaret McNaughton on this thread though 

Can't easily see a Joseph Stewart with a birth date c. 1831 on the 1841 census. The only one that stood out was that entry under Goodwin.

Did this info come from Joseph's convict papers:

PARENTS JOHN STEWART/JANET MCNAUGHTON 23-5-1824 (DULL)

And from Joseph's marriage and death certs in Australia - were these names confirmed?
